An Emerson poll shows Rep. Dan Goldman down by more than 30 points to New York City Comptroller Brad Lander in the Democratic primary for Goldman's House seat.
Lander entered the race Wednesday with backing from Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, giving him establishment momentum on the city’s left as Goldman faces a sharp challenge from a Democratic Socialist-leaning rival.
The contest also highlights a policy split over Israel: Goldman supports Israel, while the report says Lander shifted from backing military aid to opposing it.
The result points to broader pressure on more moderate or pro-Israel Democrats in heavily educated urban districts as socialist-aligned candidates gain ground.
