Quinnipiac University New York City poll<\/a> revealed on Wednesday showed Mamdani had support from 43% of likely voters. Cuomo received 33% support, and Sliwa remained well behind with 14%. <\/p>\n“The candidates have made their case, early voting is underway, Zohran Mamdani has a 10-point lead over Andrew Cuomo with Curtis Sliwa a distant third, but one wildcard remains,\u201d said Mary Snow, Quinnipiac University Poll Assistant Director. “The percentage of likely voters not weighing in has increased a bit since earlier this month, suggesting there’s room for movement in the final stretch.”<\/p>\n
In fact, that number has doubled since Oct. 9. The new Quinnipiac poll shows 6% of likely voters were undecided at time of the survey, Oct. 23-27; Only 3% were undecided in the previous poll. Mamdani led with 46% of likely voters at that point, while Cuomo received 33% and Sliwa had 15% support. <\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWith early voting set to wrap up in New York City over the weekend, all three candidates are making a final push for support. So what concerns do voters have heading into Election Day? NBC New York’s Andrew Siff reports.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
But a Suffolk University New York City poll released Oct. 27 showed the race tightening considerably. That survey \u2013 taken Oct. 23-26 \u2013 showed Cuomo cutting Mamdani\u2019s lead in half to 10 points among likely voters. While the latest Suffolk poll has Mamdani leading Cuomo 44%-34%, with Sliwa at 11%, Mamdani held a 20-point lead over Cuomo in the September Suffolk poll.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is one person in New York City whose voters could have an outsized impact on the outcome,\u201d said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center. “It\u2019s Republican Curtis Sliwa, whose voters hold the 11% blocking Cuomo from winning the race. And when asked for their second choice, those voters preferred Cuomo over Mamdani 36%-2%.”<\/p>\n
Mamdani, a state assembly member representing Astoria, Queens, has spent much of the campaign trying to overcome fears among moderate and conservative voters over his Democratic Socialist viewpoints, past comments about defunding police and support for Palestinians.<\/p>\n
The newest Suffolk survey was fielded and completed after Mayor Adams endorsed Cuomo. The Suffolk poll has a margin of error of +\/-4.4 percentage points.<\/p>\n
Sliwa has resisted calls \u2013 including those by his former employer, billionaire New York City political power player and WABC radio owner John Catsimatidis \u2013 to exit the race. Cuomo launched his independent bid after losing the Democratic primary to Mamdani in June.<\/p>\n
The Marist October poll shows that in a hypothetical two-way contest between Mamdani and Cuomo, 77% of Republicans would back Cuomo while 13% would support Mamdani. Four percent of Republicans would support someone else, and 6% are undecided. <\/p>\n
Among voters not registered with a political party, Cuomo garners 51% compared with 41% for Mamdani.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe most recent poll shows that Andrew Cuomo’s support appears to have plateaued, while Zohran Mamdani has slipped a bit \u2014 but still maintains a double-digit lead among voters. NBC New York’s Melissa Russo reports.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The early voting factor<\/p>\n
Among likely voters, 51% say they will vote on Election Day, according to the Marist poll. The poll found that 38% said they would vote at an early voting location, and 12% plan to vote by mail or absentee ballot<\/p>\n
Republicans (57%) and non-enrolled voters (56%) are more likely than Democrats (48%) to say they will cast their ballot on Election Day. The Marist Poll found Mamdani leads Cuomo, 52% to 32%, among likely voters who say they are going to vote at an early voting location. Sliwa received15%. <\/p>\n
Among those who said they plan to vote in-person on Election Day, 43% support Mamdani; 33% back Cuomo, and 18% support Sliwa. <\/p>\n
Early voting continues until Sunday, Nov. 2 at 5 p.m. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 4, with polls open that day from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As early voting nears its end in the race for New York City mayor, new polling shows encouraging…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":348337,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,9643,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-348336","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-decision-2025","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-city","12":"tag-newyork","13":"tag-newyorkcity","14":"tag-ny","15":"tag-nyc","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-united-states-of-america","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","20":"tag-us","21":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115475361601168437","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
