Poll: Gotham AARP NYC Mayor General Election 2025 — August

NYC Mayoral Election 2025 – August Poll Results

A new AARP / Gotham Polling survey of likely New York City voters shows Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani leading the crowded field for mayor with 42% support. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo follows with 23%, Curtis Sliwa with 17%, Mayor Eric Adams with 9%, and a combined 9% either undecided or preferring another candidate.

While Mamdani holds a clear lead, the race remains shaped by voter uncertainty and candidate overlap. More than one in four voters say they are undecided in certain match-ups, leaving room for shifts as the field evolves.

To test the dynamics of a fragmented race, the survey modeled six different scenarios in which one or more of the top contenders were removed from the ballot. In every case, Mamdani remained ahead — but the margins varied significantly depending on which candidates dropped out:

In multi-candidate matchups, Mamdani’s support holds firm around 40–42%.
Cuomo consistently emerges as the strongest challenger, consolidating more of the moderate and older voter base when others exit.
Even in a hypothetical one-on-one with Mamdani, Cuomo trails — though a large share of voters remain undecided, suggesting fluidity.
Sliwa and Adams attract narrower but distinct coalitions, with Sliwa drawing more Republican and outer-borough support, and Adams retaining core Democratic and Black voter backing.

The six scenarios highlight a central tension of the race: Mamdani may not have a ceiling to reach a true majority, but as long as the moderate vote remains split, his path to victory is wide open.

Sponsor & Fielding

Sponsor: AARP
Conducted by: Gotham Polling & Analytics
Mode & language: SMS invitations to a self-administered web survey (English only)
Field date: August 11, 2025
Average questionnaire time: 3 minutes 33 seconds.

Population, Frame, and Sample

Population: Likely voters registered in New York City (five boroughs), age 18+.
Sampling frame: L2 voter file of registered voters in NYC (five boroughs) with matched mobile
numbers (N=4,745,759).
Sample design: Random selection of 70,000 records from the frame (stratified by Age Range
(birth-year), Voter Gender, and Party description).
Invitations sent: 69,767 SMS

Dispositions (AAPOR-style mapping)

Complete interviews (I): 1,376
Partial interviews (P): 275
Screened ineligible (NE): 62 (additional ineligible: invalid 81, not mobile 83)
Refusals (R): 2,581 (“do not text”)
Other eligible non-interview (O): 414 (DNC + other replies)
Undelivered (UH): 2,757
Delivered (approx.): 67,010
Non-contact (NC): 62,364 (Delivered – (I+P+R+O))
Outcome Rates (AAPOR Standard Definitions; RR3 uses ê for UH)
ê (eligibility rate among known) = 0.954
RR1 = 0.020 • RR3 = 0.020
COOP1 = 0.296 • CON1 = 0.069 • REF1 = 0.037

Weighting

Variables: gender, age, party registration, race, county, household income, and education.
Targets: NYC general-election voter distributions (2021 & 2022).
Method: iterative proportional fiting (raking), then normalization. Final reporting uses the
“Normalized Weight” in SurveyData.
Trimming: weights winsorized at CapMultiplier × median (final weight) with CapMultiplier=2.5
by default; renormalized to mean=1.
Diagnostics: Based on the current cap in the Weights sheet, DEFF » 1.49 and n_eff » 921; 95%
MOE near 50% » ±3.2 points (within-frame).

Questionnaire & Routing

Full question wording and response options are provided in the attached Questionnaire PDF
(exact text as displayed in data headers).
Key skips (summary): “Backup choice” was asked after vote intention; results include modeled
“dropout scenarios” that reallocate first-choice votes to each respondent’s backup choice.
Respondents who remained undecided, selected “another candidate,” provided no backup, or
backed a candidate who also dropped remain in the “Undecided + Another” bucket.

Quality Controls & Limitations

Quality: de-duplication by L2ID/device/IP; speed checks; straight-line flags; geofencing to NYC;
termination of unlikely voters (n=62).
Coverage: registered voters with matched mobile numbers; nonresponse and measurement
error are possible; SMS-to-web mode effects may occur.
Interpretation of modeled scenarios: “dropout scenario” head-to-heads are modeled
outcomes, not observed elections.
