Per the results of the poll, Zohran Mamdani could be clinching a win in the November election with 50 percent of likely voters.
Andrew Cuomo clocked in at 22 percent, while Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa received only 13 percent of support from New Yorkers.
Eric Adams came in last place with seven percent of voters backing his reelection bid.

The survey also found that if Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams joined forces to try to beat Zohran Mamdani, they still would not be able to secure the votes.
The 67-year-old attorney could come closer to beating the 33-year-old younger assemblyman if Adams and Curtis Sliwa dropped out of the race. However, Cuomo would still only get 40 percent of the vote to Mamdani's 55 percent.

If Eric Adams went head-to-head with Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo ended his campaign, the 33-year-old would still win 59 percent to 32 percent.
According to 1,000 likely voters, 60 percent said they would never consider voting for Cuomo, while 68 percent of those polled stated Adams will not be their choice in the fall.

After Zohran Mamdani won about 44 percent of the votes in the Democratic primary, he caught the attention of President Donald Trump, who ranted about his possible election.
"It's finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line," the right-winger wrote on Truth Social update about the liberal's victory. "Zohran Mamdani, a 100 percent communist lunatic, has just won the Dem primary and is on his way to becoming mayor. We've had radical lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous."
