NEW YORK (WABC) — Zohran Mamdani nearly doubles Andrew Cuomo’s lead, according to a new survey by The New York Times and Siena College.
Mamdani holds a 22-point advantage over Cuomo, 46% to 24%, the survey found.
Republican Curtis Sliwa polled at 15% and Mayor Eric Adams at 9% among likely New York City voters.
“Mamdani holds a huge lead among younger voters while voters forty-five and older are split between Cuomo and Mamdani in the four-way race,” Don Levy, SRI’s Director, said.
If both Sliwa and Adams were to drop out of the race and make it a two-person showdown, Cuomo would capture the vast majority of their current support and win a majority of voters over forty-five.
“Mamdani’s overwhelming 22-point lead would shrink to four points. At present, Cuomo would need both Adams and Sliwa to drop out in order to close the gap,” Levy said.
Meanwhile, some of city’s richest landlords gathered for a closed door emergency meeting on Tuesday morning in a effort to strategize to get more support behind Cuomo.
The meeting comes as the race for city hall is in its final weeks and the general election is raising eyebrows for some with moneyed interests, waiting for the field to narrow down to one candidate to challenge Mamdani.
However, Mayor Adams has pushed aside any rumors that he will exit the race and Sliwa says he is not going anywhere.
