KEY POINTS

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani won Tuesday's mayoral race with strong support from younger, progressive and newly arrived New Yorkers, according to exit polls.

Despite his working-class platform, middle- and upper-middle-income voters powered Mamdani’s victory while poorer and richer residents favored Cuomo.

Mamdani dominated many affluent, gentrified neighborhoods, and Cuomo led in Staten Island, lower Brooklyn, and northern Queens.

Zohran Mamdani received strong support from young college graduates, particularly young women, exit polls show, with 84% of 18-29 year old women supporting the winner of the New York City mayor’s race.

Mamdani won Tuesday’s election with 50% of the vote, besting former Democratic governor of New York Andrew Cuomo, who brought in about 42%.
