Zohran Mamdani's Lead Narrows in New York City Mayoral Race
Recent polls indicate a tightening contest in the New York City mayoral race, with Zohran Mamdani's lead over Andrew Cuomo decreasing as the election approaches.
As the New York City mayoral election approaches, recent polls indicate a narrowing lead for Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani. A New York Times/Siena College survey shows Mamdani leading with 46% support, followed by independent candidate Andrew Cuomo at 24%, Republican Curtis Sliwa at 15%, and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams at 9%.
In a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, Mamdani's lead over Cuomo shrinks to 48% versus 44%. Similarly, an AARP New York poll indicates Mamdani at 43.2%, Cuomo at 28.9%, and Sliwa at 19.4%, with 8.4% undecided. In a direct contest between Mamdani and Cuomo, the race tightens further, with undecided voters aged 50 and above potentially playing a decisive role.
Mamdani has secured endorsements from prominent figures, including Governor Kathy Hochul, who highlighted their shared commitment to addressing the city's affordability crisis. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries also endorsed Mamdani, emphasizing the importance of Democratic unity.
Despite these endorsements, the race remains competitive, with Cuomo continuing his campaign as an independent and Sliwa maintaining his Republican bid. The election is scheduled for November 4, 2025.
