Zohran Mamdani<\/a> continues to hold a commanding lead in the race for New York<\/a> City mayor, with a new poll released on Wednesday showing the Democratic nominee 15 points ahead of former governor Andrew Cuomo<\/a>, who is running as an independent candidate.<\/p>\n

The new poll, conducted by Emerson College Polling\/PIX11\/The Hill<\/a>, shows Mamdani with 43% support among New York City registered voters, compared with 28% for Cuomo, who is running as an independent<\/a> after losing the Democratic primary <\/a>to Mamdani in June.<\/p>\n

Mamdani, a democratic socialist, has triggered excitement among many progressives and leftists in the Democratic party and unease with some centrist party leaders. His leftwing populist agenda propelled him to a shock win in the party primary, creating global headlines.<\/p>\n

In the Emerson poll, the Republican nominee, Curtis Sliwa, received 10% support, while the incumbent mayor, Eric Adams<\/a>, who is also running as an independent, polled at 8%. Nine per cent of respondents said they were still undecided.<\/p>\n

Among voters who said they were \u201cvery likely\u201d to vote in the November election, Mamdani leads Cuomo 46% to 27%. The poll also found Mamdani holds a 29-point lead over Cuomo among voters under 50, and a six-point lead among voters over 50.<\/p>\n

The new results mirror other polling by the New York Times\/Siena University<\/a> released this week, which found Mamdani leading Cuomo 46% to 24% among likely voters. In that poll, Sliwa received 15% support, and Adams 9%.<\/p>\n

When asked which candidate they believe would best address affordability in New York<\/a> City, 49% of voters chose Mamdani, compared with 24% for Cuomo.<\/p>\n

An earlier poll released in August <\/a>by the Siena Institute <\/a>showed Mamdani ahead of Cuomo by 19 points.<\/p>\n

According to recent reports<\/a>, advisers of Donald Trump have made efforts to get Adams to drop out of the race in exchange for a possible role in the Trump administration<\/a>, with the goal of clearing the field<\/a> for a two-person race between Cuomo and Mamdani.<\/p>\n

The New York Times also reported<\/a> that the talks had also involved finding a possible place in the administration for Sliwa.<\/p>\n

If Adams and Sliwa were to suspend their campaigns, the Times\/Siena poll found that the race would tighten, with 48% supporting Mamdani and 44% supporting Cuomo.<\/p>\n

However, with eight weeks remaining until election day, Adams<\/a> and Sliwa <\/a>have publicly stated that they have no intention of dropping out of the race.<\/p>\n
