Overview

• A Sept. 10 Data for Progress survey commissioned by Demand Progress Action shows Brad Lander leading Dan Goldman 52% to 33% among likely Democratic primary voters in New York's 10th District.
• The poll reports stronger standing for Lander, with a +59 favorability rating versus Goldman's +19 and fewer voters unsure about Lander than about the incumbent.
• Goldman's campaign dismissed the survey as an agenda-driven push poll, said he respects Lander, and emphasized a focus on defeating Trump’s Republicans in 2026.
• Progressive organizers are using the findings to recruit Lander, while the New York Working Families Party signals endorsements will favor candidates aligned with its agenda and supportive of Zohran Mamdani.
• Mamdani carried the district in June, and the poll suggests Goldman's strong support for Israel could be a liability in a Democratic primary, though no challenger has formally announced and Lander has not commented.
