Late Polls Tighten NYC Mayor’s Race as Mamdani Leads and Cuomo Gains

A fresh poll cutting the margin to six points signals a volatile finish.

Overview

  • Most surveys still show Zohran Mamdani ahead by double digits, yet a new AtlasIntel poll places his lead at about 6.6 points over Andrew Cuomo, with Curtis Sliwa posting his strongest showing of the cycle.
  • Michael Bloomberg formally endorsed Cuomo and has steered millions to pro-Cuomo super PACs funding late advertising against Mamdani.
  • Record early voting continues, with voters 60 and older forming a plurality of early ballots, and Mamdani courting seniors in the campaign’s closing days.
  • Mamdani spoke with Barack Obama, whose words of support were acknowledged by the campaign, as national figures weigh the race’s broader political stakes.
  • Sliwa remains in the three-way contest despite pressure to exit, and the AtlasIntel poll’s hypothetical head-to-head shows Cuomo leading Mamdani, highlighting the spoiler risk calculus.
