Cuomo Sees Vote Uptick, But Still Lags Behind Mamdani After Adams' Exit: Poll

"NEW YORK CITY - A new Quinnipiac University poll released on Thursday shows that after Mayor Eric Adams exited the race, Andrew Cuomo has gained some ground, but still is behind Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani. Pollsters surveyed 1,015 likely voters from Oct. 3-7 and found that Cuomo saw an increase of 10 percent in likely votes to 33 from 23 percent compared to a previous poll released on Sept. 10."

""The numbers changed, but the contours of the race haven't. Andrew Cuomo picked up the bulk of Adams' supporters, cutting into Zohran Mamdani's lead, but Mamdani's frontrunner status by double digits stays intact," Quinnipiac University Poll Assistant Director Mary Snow said. In the newest poll, Mamdani leads with 46 percent of likely voters. Cuomo is in second with 33 percent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa trails with 15 percent."

"Mamdani's strongest support is among Democrats with 60 percent, Asian American voters (67 percent), voters 18 to 34 years old (62 percent), voters 35 to 49 years old (60 percent), and voters who identify as not being part of any religious group (69 percent), according to the poll. Cuomo's strongest support is among Jewish voters, with 60 percent, while Sliwa leads the way with Republicans netting 54 percent."

A Quinnipiac University poll of 1,015 likely voters from Oct. 3-7 finds Zohran Mamdani leading with 46 percent, Andrew Cuomo at 33 percent, and Curtis Sliwa at 15 percent. Cuomo gained 10 points since a Sept. 10 poll after Eric Adams exited the race, drawing many of Adams' supporters. Mamdani shows strongest support among Democrats, Asian American voters, younger adults, and the nonreligious. Cuomo performs best with Jewish voters while Sliwa leads among Republicans. On issues, Mamdani leads on housing and public schools; Cuomo leads slightly on growing the city's economy; the Trump administration question is narrowly divided.
