Mamdani Extends Lead in NYC Mayor’s Race as Adams Orders Internal Poll

Eric Adams is commissioning an internal poll to gauge whether he should continue his campaign.

Overview

  • Quinnipiac’s survey of likely voters shows Zohran Mamdani at 45%, Andrew Cuomo at 23%, Curtis Sliwa at 15% and Eric Adams at 12%, with Jewish voters favoring Adams and viewing Mamdani unfavorably.
  • In a hypothetical three-way contest without Adams, Mamdani still leads 46% to 30% over Cuomo, with Sliwa at 17%, indicating limited benefit from an Adams exit.
  • Adams’ campaign says he remains in the race but will use his own poll to guide a decision, after he reportedly told city leaders he would consider leaving if his numbers do not improve.
  • Efforts by Trump allies and business figures to push Adams out, including floated job offers, have faltered, and Related Companies denied offering him a position as Sliwa also refuses to drop out.
  • The Board of Elections has certified the ballot, and officials say if Adams withdraws after printing, his name would still appear and votes for him would likely not be counted, with ballots set to print Tuesday.
