Overview
- The latest Quinnipiac survey of likely voters (Oct. 23–27) puts Mamdani at 43%, Cuomo at 33% and Sliwa at 14%, with 6% undecided and a ±4-point margin of error, a slight tightening from earlier this month.
- Rep. Tom Suozzi endorsed Cuomo six days before Election Day, following Mayor Eric Adams’ earlier backing, as Cuomo pitches himself as the consolidation choice for anti‑Mamdani voters.
- Quinnipiac’s Jewish voter subsample shows Cuomo leading 60% to 16% over Mamdani, while progressive Jewish organizers canvass for Mamdani and actor Mandy Patinkin recorded a supportive video.
- Polling averages tracked by outlets such as RealClearPolitics still show Mamdani with a roughly 15‑point advantage despite some surveys indicating modest gains for Cuomo.
- The final stretch features Islamophobia‑tinged attacks and AI‑generated content, including a Cuomo campaign video that was posted and deleted, alongside renewed scrutiny of Mamdani’s past comments linking the NYPD and the IDF.
