Overview
- A new AtlasIntel poll shows Mamdani at 40.6%, Andrew Cuomo at 34.0% and Curtis Sliwa at 24.1%, the narrowest margin reported since July.
- In a hypothetical head‑to‑head, AtlasIntel finds Cuomo 50% to Mamdani 42%, underscoring how Sliwa’s presence could alter vote splits.
- Early voting set a record with more than 735,000 ballots cast, including a pronounced surge of voters under 35 on the final day.
- President Trump intensified his intervention by calling Mamdani a “lunatic communist” and threatening to limit federal funds to New York if he wins.
- Mamdani closed with a Brooklyn Bridge march and reiterated plans for a rent freeze and free buses, policies that would require actions by bodies like the Rent Guidelines Board.
