Mamdani viewed favorably by 46% of city voters: poll

Outpacing his three major rivals in the race for mayor, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani was viewed favorably by 46% of New York City voters in a new Siena University poll that was released Tuesday – with 32% viewing him unfavorably.

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who’s running as an independent candidate, had a 37% favorability rating with 54% giving him a thumbs-down.

Mayor Adams, who’s also running as an independent, also fared poorly with a 30% approval rating and a 58% disapproval rating.

Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa had a 30% favorability rating with 42% disapproving of the Guardian Angels founder.

The poll was part of a larger statewide poll conducted by Siena. The poll sampled 317 city voters with a margin of error of +/- 6.7%.

Mamdani, Sliwa, Cuomo, Adams and independent candidate Jim Walden will be on the ballot in the mayoral general election, which will take place on Nov. 4.
