Poll on NY-10 Congress primary has Lander leading Goldman by wide margin; other NYC House races tight | amNewYork

Former city Comptroller Brad Lander leads Rep. Dan Goldman in the 10th District Democratic primary, with 57% to 23% among likely Democratic primary voters and 20% undecided. Lander’s support is strongest among voters under 40, who back him 73% to 15%. In the 7th District, Assembly Member Claire Valdez narrowly leads Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, 23% to 21%, with City Councilor Julie Won at 13% and 43% undecided. Voters under 40 favor Valdez 33% to 15%, while voters over 50 favor Reynoso 27% to 13%. Campaigns dispute or emphasize the implications of the polling as the June 23 primary approaches.

"Lander, whom Mamdani has endorsed, led Goldman 57% to 23% among likely Democratic primary voters in the 10th District, with 20% undecided. Lander led across all age groups, with his strongest support among voters under 40, who backed him 73% to 15%, according to Emerson College Polling Executive Director Spencer Kimball."

"A Goldman campaign spokesperson disputed the poll's findings, telling amNewYork, That's not what our data says, pointing to an earlier poll from a Goldman-aligned super PAC that shows Lander with a much smaller lead, and arguing that Thursday's survey does not reflect the electorate expected to vote in the June primary."

"For their part, the Lander campaign told amNewYork that it is not relaxing at all, despite the positive poll numbers. We're taking nothing for granted and continuing to run like we're in the fight of our lives, because we are: we've got a fascist in the White House, rogue ICE agents in our streets, and billionaires trying to buy our elections, the campaign said in a statement."

"In the 7th District, Valdez, another Mamdani-backed candidate, led Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso 23% to 21%, with City Councilor Julie Won at 13% and 43% undecided. Kimball said the race showed a clear age divide: voters under 40 favored Valdez over Reynoso, 33% to 15%, while voters over 50 backed Reynoso over Valdez, 27% to 13%."
