Overview
- Quinnipiac’s Oct. 23–27 survey finds Zohran Mamdani at 43%, Andrew Cuomo at 33% and Curtis Sliwa at 14%, with undecided voters ticking up to 6%.
- An Emerson College/PIX11/The Hill poll conducted Oct. 25–27 shows Mamdani at 50%, Cuomo at 25% and Sliwa at 21%, reflecting a 25-point advantage for the Democrat.
- Marist’s Oct. 24–28 poll puts Mamdani at 48%, Cuomo at 32% and Sliwa at 16%, and a hypothetical head-to-head shows Mamdani leading Cuomo 51% to 44% without Sliwa.
- Demographic splits remain sharp: Quinnipiac’s subsample shows Cuomo with about 60% support among Jewish voters, while Mamdani dominates younger voters and retains most Democrats.
- Early voting is underway as campaigns intensify; researchers and reporters detail Islamophobic attacks and AI-generated ads, President Trump threatens funding cuts, and Mamdani vows to oppose any effort to punish the city.
