Adams to Order Internal Poll to Weigh Future in NYC Mayor’s Race

Public polling shows him in single digits, with new data indicating his exit alone would not vault Andrew Cuomo past Zohran Mamdani.

Overview

  • Campaign chairman Frank Carone said Adams will commission an internal poll "soon" to help decide whether to continue his independent reelection bid.
  • Spokesperson Todd Shapiro said Adams remains committed to the race and denied he alluded to dropping out in a private meeting, while noting the poll will inform his decision.
  • NBC4 reported Adams told business leaders he could prioritize the city over his candidacy if his numbers don’t improve, saying, "I love the city more than I dislike Andrew."
  • A new Quinnipiac survey shows Mamdani leading decisively, and in a three-way without Adams the poll finds Mamdani at 46%, Cuomo at 30%, and Sliwa at 17%, aligning with Siena and Emerson findings.
  • Centrist figures, business leaders and Trump administration officials are pressing Adams to step aside to consolidate opposition to Mamdani, as Republican Curtis Sliwa rejects similar calls to quit.
