Overview
- Mamdani remains ahead across most late polling, with a Newsweek summary showing a double‑digit average lead even as an AtlasIntel survey pegs the margin at 6.6 points.
- Mamdani’s campaign confirmed that Obama called Saturday, praised his “impressive” campaign and offered to be a future sounding board if he wins.
- Bloomberg has formally endorsed Cuomo and steered more than $8 million to pro‑Cuomo super PACs, fueling a late advertising blitz targeting Mamdani’s agenda.
- Early voting has set records with voters 60 and older comprising about 40% of early ballots, a turnout pattern seen as favorable to Cuomo as Mamdani steps up senior outreach.
- Curtis Sliwa remains in the three‑way race despite pressure to quit; recent polls such as Quinnipiac still show Mamdani ahead, with Election Day set for Nov. 4 after early voting ends Nov. 2.
