Overview
- An Emerson/PIX11/The Hill poll released Thursday put Zohran Mamdani at 50% support, with Andrew Cuomo roughly 25 points back and Republican Curtis Sliwa at 21%.
- Cuomo used a conservative radio interview to brand Mamdani’s agenda “all BS” and question his readiness for crises, even as he touts backing from Eric Adams and Michael Bloomberg.
- A Mamdani spokesperson confirmed Barack Obama called the candidate and offered words of support, though no formal endorsement was announced.
- Mamdani’s late push includes Arabic-language ads promising rent freezes and free buses, reflecting a campaign rooted in immigrant and progressive organizing networks.
- While multiple polls still show Mamdani ahead, a VINnews-cited AtlasIntel survey reported a 6.6-point margin, and the winner-take-all general has turned combative after a more cordial ranked-choice primary.
