“Zohran Mamdani – 46% – holds a 22-point advantage over Andrew Cuomo – 24% – followed by Curtis Sliwa – 15% – and Eric Adams – 9% – among likely New York City voters,” said Don Levy, SRI’s Director. “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.”
“The big ‘if’ is what would happen 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 both Adams’ and Sliwa’s 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.”
“A majority of New York City likely voters, 52%, have a favorable view of Mamdani while a majority, 59%, view Andrew Cuomo unfavorably. A plurality of Mamdani voters say the cost of living is the city’s number one issue while voters that prefer Cuomo, Adams and Sliwa all are most likely to cite crime as what’s most rotten in the Big Apple.”
“A lot could change in this race, if Adams and/or Sliwa drop out, or Mamdani could continue to ride his support among young voters and voters concerned about economic issues all the way to Gracie Mansion.”
