"According to an AARP and Gotham Polling survey, Mamdani leads with 43.2% of support, while former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo trails at 28.9% and GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa at 19.4%. However, in a scenario without Sliwa in the race, Cuomo could reportedly close the gap: Mamdani at 44.6% versus Cuomo at 40.7%, putting the outcome within the poll's 4 point margin of error."
"Many New Yorkers have stated (because of the current polling), "a vote for Sliwa is a vote for Mamdani," even if they personally agree that Sliwa is the better choice. GOP billionaire and Sliwa's longtime friend and boss, John Catsimatidis, even publicly urged the founder of the Guardian Angels to withdraw from the race to help Cuomo win."
""I want to say to your Republican listeners: Vote like a New Yorker. Don't vote like a Republican. A vote for Curtis is a vote for Zohran. Vote like a New Yorker and stop Zohran," Cuomo said on 77WABC Radio, expressing the importance of voting in this particular election."
An AARP and Gotham Polling survey shows Zohran Mamdani with 43.2% support, Andrew Cuomo at 28.9%, and Curtis Sliwa at 19.4%. In a hypothetical without Sliwa, Mamdani would be at 44.6% and Cuomo at 40.7%, within the poll's four-point margin of error. Republican strategists worry that Sliwa's presence splits anti-Mamdani voters and could enable Mamdani's victory. John Catsimatidis publicly urged Sliwa to withdraw to consolidate the moderate and conservative vote for Cuomo. Cuomo framed the contest as opposing a far-left progressive agenda, noting younger voters favor Mamdani while older and moderate voters favor Cuomo. Some GOP members argue Sliwa should remain to represent Republican values.
