Overview
- Mamdani remains the frontrunner in most late polls, with aggregates putting his advantage over Cuomo in double digits heading into Tuesday.
- An AtlasIntel survey released Friday shows a narrower contest at 41% Mamdani, 34% Cuomo and 24% Sliwa, contrasting with Marist, Quinnipiac and Emerson polls that keep the gap wider.
- Early voting has set records with roughly 480,000 ballots cast by Saturday, and voters 60 and older account for about 40% of early turnout, a pattern seen as favorable to Cuomo.
- Michael Bloomberg formally endorsed Cuomo and funneled millions to super PACs backing him and opposing Mamdani in the campaign’s closing stretch.
- Curtis Sliwa remains in the race, keeping the contest three-way as conservatives split between him and Cuomo and both camps warn of potential spoiler effects.
