Mamdani 46%….
Cuomo 33%….
In the latest Quinnipiac University survey
Mamdani was regularly up over Cuomo by 20% up to now…
New York City’s current Mayor Democrat Eric Adams has dropped out of the race….
As expected?
Adams support has shifted over to Cuomo , Not Mamdani….
It has been a given that polling showing Zohran Mamdani would narrow as election day approached…
It WILL narrow down even more going forward…
Mamdani still has the lead….
But…
This is NOT gonna be a blow out win for Mamdani, if he wins….
Andrew Cuomo is gaining on front-runner Zohran Mamdani in a New York City mayoral field that no longer includes incumbent Eric Adams, a poll released Thursday found.
A Quinnipiac University survey — the first major poll conducted since Adams suspended his campaign on Sept. 28 — found the ex-governor receiving a 10-point boost even as Mamdani maintains a commanding double-digit lead in the contest to lead the nation’s largest city. Adams wasn’t included in the poll, but remains on the November ballot.
It remains unclear how much support he will garner as an independent candidate who is not actively campaigning.
Mamdani, a state assemblymember, received 46 percent of the vote to Cuomo’s 33 percent. Republican Curtis Sliwa received 15 percent, the poll found.
The results for Mamdani and Sliwa are essentially unchanged from a Quinnipiac poll released on Sept. 10. Cuomo, though, drew 23 percent in that survey, while Adams received 12 percent.
The mayor, who has been polling in the single digits in other surveys, quit the race last month and has not endorsed any of his former rivals.
Cuomo’s campaign — running without the institutional support he enjoyed during his failed primary bid — cheered the narrowed gap with Mamdani as a sign the campaign was coming down to two Democrats who offer starkly different solutions for the city.
“The path is now clear: This is a two-person race between Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani,” Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi said in a statement.
Mamdani’s campaign was unfazed by the results.
…
Cuomo, a Democrat, had led most polls preceding his upset loss to Mamdani in June. The former governor is now running as an independent against the 33-year-old democratic socialist.
Mamdani’s support in general election polling has been consistently below 50 percent and the upstart nominee has been trying to run up the score to surpass that baseline in order to claim a mandate should he win City Hall….
