Mamdani is ahead in the mayoral race with 39% of the vote, according to a recent poll
In the ongoing race for New York City Mayor, the latest polls suggest that the Democratic nominee, Zohran Mamdani, is still the front-runner. However, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent candidate, has gained significant support in the news.
The poll conducted by PIX11, Emerson College, and The Hill found that Mamdani has 43% of the vote, with Cuomo receiving 25%. This is a closer race compared to some recent news polls, indicating that Cuomo's independent bid may be gaining traction.
The Quinnipiac University poll, conducted with likely voters, found similar results, with Mamdani receiving 45% of the vote and Cuomo receiving 21%. In a two-way Cuomo and Mamdani match-up, Mamdani still appears to lead, but the race seems to be narrowing in the news.
Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa received the support of 13% of respondents, according to the Quinnipiac University poll. Mayor Eric Adams, also running as an independent, received the support of 12%, as per the PIX11, Emerson College, and The Hill poll.
The poll conducted by The New York Times/Siena College, which was carried out between Sept. 2 and 6, found that Mamdani has 46% of the vote, while Cuomo has 24%. If the general election were today, 39% of respondents said they would vote for Mamdani, compared to 25% for Cuomo in the news.
It's important to note that other recent news polls exploring a two-way Cuomo and Mamdani match-up have found a much narrower race. The poll conducted by Public Policy Polling, who accurately predicted Mamdani's lead in the primary in June, did not identify the independent candidate supported in their survey, which was conducted between September 4 and 5.
The poll aimed to determine New Yorkers' views on decriminalizing prostitution, as it was commissioned by the national advocacy organization Decriminalize Sex Work. The specific findings regarding this issue were not available in the news data provided.
In conclusion, while Mamdani remains the front-runner in the New York City mayoral race, the latest news polls suggest that Cuomo's independent bid is gaining support, potentially narrowing the race. The general election is still several weeks away, and the race is likely to remain dynamic as more news polls are released.
