Overview

• A Siena poll gives Mamdani 44 percent support versus 25 percent for Andrew Cuomo but carries a 6.7 percent margin of error due to its limited city sample
• Former governor David Paterson’s endorsement of incumbent Eric Adams adds pressure on anti-Mamdani forces to consolidate amid the multi-candidate field
• Mamdani’s “Five Boroughs Against Trump” tour reached Staten Island, where he pledged to defend sanctuary-city protections and resist federal deportation efforts
• Rivalry with Cuomo intensified as Cuomo demands Mamdani release his rent-stabilized lease and Mamdani counters by calling for Cuomo to disclose his consulting client list
• Targeted polling shows 75 percent of Jewish voters statewide hold unfavorable views of Mamdani, prompting tailored outreach and messaging adjustments
