Overview
- Roughly 2 million New Yorkers voted, the highest mayoral turnout since the 1960s and an 84% jump from 2021, with 58% of voters under 55 and about 42% aged 18 to 44.
- Post-election data show a decisive swing among Black voters, with Mamdani taking 63% in districts with high Black eligible-voter shares and leading by 19 points in exit polls.
- Geographic and income splits were stark, as Mamdani ran up margins in brownstone Brooklyn and many middle-income areas while Andrew Cuomo dominated in the wealthiest corridors of Manhattan.
- Cuomo won heavily in Jewish communities, taking 58% in neighborhoods with higher shares of Jewish-identified voters and 64% of the Jewish vote in exit polling.
- Three citywide ballot measures to speed affordable housing approvals passed with more than 57% support, even as opposition concentrated in areas that have built relatively little affordable housing.
