From the New York Post: Democratic nominee and mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani’s lead over Andrew Cuomo in the race for City Hall has narrowed after incumbent Mayor Eric Adams exited the race, according to a new poll released Thursday.
Mamdani leads the race with 46% of likely voters backing him, followed by independent candidate Cuomo with 33% support and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa with 15%, the Quinnipiac University survey finds.
In a Quinnipiac survey that gauged a 4-way race last month, Mamdani received 45% support to 23% for Cuomo, 15% for Sliwa and 12% support for Adams. Other polls showed Mamdani with a hefty lead in a four-person race.
Mamdani’s lead shrinks from 22 points to 13 points in the new poll.
Since Adams has dropped out the race, the poll found that nearly all his supporters are lining up behind Cuomo. Meanwhile, those supporting Sliwa haven’t budged.
However, there are only 25 days left until the election, leaving little time for Cuomo to make up the difference.
Cuomo reacted to the new poll numbers, and wrote on X:
Breaking News – our campaign has gained 10 points since September, while @ZohranKMamdani remains stagnant and @CurtisSliwa continues to fade away.
The path is now clear: This is a two-person race between me and Mamdani. As voters learn more about the stakes they are rallying behind proven leadership over dangerously inexperienced extremism.
With one month to go, a surge in fundraising, endorsements, and volunteers, momentum is building, with more to come. The choice could not be clearer: Experienced, effective leadership that delivers for all New Yorkers, or ideological division and inexperience. New York City’s future is on the line!
