Cuomo Gains Ground on Mamdani in Heated NYC Mayoral Race: Latest Polls Show Tight Competition

NEW YORK — With just a week left before New York City’s mayoral election, independent contender and former Governor Andrew Cuomo is making strides against progressive Democrat Zohran Mamdani.

The Suffolk University poll, unveiled on October 27, indicates that Cuomo has narrowed Mamdani’s lead by 10 points. This follows a previous gap of 20 points reported in the September poll by Suffolk.

As the November 4 election approaches, Mamdani holds a lead over Cuomo with 44% to 34%, while Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa trails in third place with 11%. Approximately 7% of those surveyed remain undecided.

Despite the challenge, Curtis Sliwa remains firm in the NYC mayoral race.

Voters 55+ casting majority of early votes

In September, polls had Mamdani at 45%, leading Cuomo’s 25%, followed by Sliwa at 9%, and then-incumbent Mayor Eric Adams with 8%. Adams has since exited the race, offering his endorsement to Cuomo.

Early voting has seen an unprecedented turnout, with over 164,000 voters checking in at polling stations over the weekend, as reported by New York City’s Board of Elections.

Polling numbers also showed a slight increase in ballots cast for Cuomo between Day 1 and Day 2 of early voting, while Sliwa’s numbers decreased.

“I continue to be confident in our campaign as well as in our outreach to voters above the age of 55, and also I will not allow myself to become complacent,” Mamdani said.

So far, voters 55 and older make up more than half of the early voting totals.

“In the primary, the turnout was totally different than they thought much younger, and the younger vote was a much higher percentage, and that skewed all the polls,” Cuomo said.
