Overview
- Polls are open in New York City today with first results expected after polls close at 9 p.m. ET.
- A new AtlasIntel survey (Oct. 31–Nov. 2) shows Zohran Mamdani at 44%, Andrew Cuomo at 39% and Curtis Sliwa at 16%, down from earlier double-digit Mamdani leads.
- President Trump warned he would limit federal funds if Mamdani wins and urged voters to support independent candidate Cuomo rather than Republican Sliwa.
- Elon Musk issued a last-minute endorsement of Cuomo on X, adding to outside pressure on the race.
- Early voting set a record with hundreds of thousands of ballots and skewed older than the primary electorate, and Mamdani would be the city’s first Muslim mayor with proposals including rent limits and free buses and childcare funded by higher taxes.
