Yet another new public poll shows Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani dominating the current four-way race for City Hall and defeating leading rival Andrew Cuomo in a one-on-one matchup \u2014 the second in two days to reveal as much.<\/p>\n
The Emerson College\/PIX11\/The Hill survey<\/a> of 600 active city voters shows Mamdani ahead in the current field at 43%, a 15-point edge over Cuomo \u2014 the former Democratic governor running on an independent line. The poll was conducted between Sept. 7-8 and has a margin of error of +\/- 3.9%.<\/p>\n Cuomo has 28% support, while Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams \u2014 a Democrat running as an independent \u2014 have 10% and 8%, respectively. Nine percent remain undecided.<\/p>\n It comes a day after a Siena College\/New York Times poll<\/a> that showed Mamdani with a 23-point lead over Cuomo in the four-way contest, and defeating him by four points in a hypothetical head-to-head battle.<\/p>\n Mamdani, during an unrelated Wednesday morning Bronx news conference, said the poll shows that New Yorkers are \u201chungry for a different kind of politics.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \u201cThey are hungry for a politics that puts working people first,\u201d Mamdani told reporters. \u201cWe saw that over the course of the primary, where we went from 1% in the polls to winning that race by 13 points, with the most votes in New York City history. And we are seeing that right now.\u201d<\/p>\n Mamdani added that his campaign has 60,000 volunteers and expects to soon have 90,000.\n<\/p>\n Poll trends aligning<\/p>\n The Emerson poll showed a similar trend to past surveys that Mamdani \u2014 a democratic socialist Assembly member \u2014 holds a huge advantage with younger voters, while Cuomo does better with their older counterparts.<\/p>\n \u201cMamdani has a 29-point lead over Cuomo among voters under 50, leading 49% to 20%, and that lead tightens to six points among voters over 50, leading 39% to 33%,\u201d said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, in a statement.<\/p>\n Mamdani also handily defeats all of his opponents in simulated one-on-one contests, the poll found.\n<\/p>\n While Cuomo comes the closest to the Assembly member in a theoretical two-person race, he still trails by 7 points (40% to 47%), with 13% undecided. Mamdani would win with just over 50% when facing either Adams or Sliwa in one-on-ones \u2014 with Adams nabbing 30% and Sliwa getting 28%.<\/p>\n The tested matchups come as both Adams and Sliwa are facing mounting pressure from centrist leaders, the city\u2019s business community and, reportedly, the Trump administration to withdraw from the race to boost Cuomo\u2019s chances of blocking Mamdani from City Hall.<\/p>\n Adams was reported to be in negotiations with\u00a0<\/a>the Trump administration<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0private sector firms<\/a> over lucrative job offers as a prize for ending his campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n His spokesperson, Todd Shapiro, confirmed to reporters on Friday that the mayor met with Trump\u2019s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, last Tuesday in Florida. The confab was\u00a0reportedly to discuss posts<\/a> within the Trump administration, which could include a position with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and an ambassadorship to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
