Voters over 60 leading the way in casting early ballots. Does that bode well for Cuomo?

he 2025 NYC Mayor’s race.

Across the first six days of early voting, an amNewYork analysis of unofficial Board of Elections data found that voters over 60 have continued to make up a plurality of New Yorkers showing up to cast their ballots in the contest between Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.

The data, on the surface, would appear to be good news for Cuomo, the 67-year-old former governor who has been receiving strong support among older voters in numerous polls. He has typically led with voters over 50, while Mamdani has had Millennial and Generation Z voters firmly in his corner.

Cuomo himself has insisted that the large volume of older New Yorkers casting early ballots can only be beneficial to him, as he continues to trail Mamdani, the 34-year-old Queens Assembly member, in the polls. However, three of the four recent polls have shown the former governor narrowing the gap.
