21. When I first heard of Mamdani he was probably lucky to poll 5% at the time

I had no idea he would turn out to be this impressive.

It is hard to find good data on the polls but I think Mamdani has been expanding his electorate beyond his initial base of support.

I did find this article about a poll on Cuomo's lead shrinking.

Andrew Cuomo’s lead over Zohran Mamdani shrinking in final stretch of NYC mayoral race: poll

(snip)

Another significant finding in the new poll is that Mamdani has expanded his support among Latino voters by broad margins, earning 41% support from that constituency, a 21% increase from his levels in the May survey. Cuomo’s support among Latinos, meanwhile, decreased to 36% from 41%, according to the new poll.

The boost in Latino support for Mamdani comes after New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the Democratic Party’s most popular figures, endorsed him as her No. 1 pick on June 5.

Mamdani, who’s running on a left-wing platform that includes promises to expand free childcare and freeze rent for stabilized tenants, has also aired Spanish language ads in recent weeks.

I'm also interested in over 50 and under 50 as there may be a big difference there but Mamdani started with almost 0 name recognition compared to Cuomo.
