"With just under six weeks until the Nov. 4 general election, and a little over four weeks until early voting starts, the New York City mayor's race is in somewhat of a holding pattern. Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani continues to lead in the polls by double digits, dominating a crowded field of opponents who are splitting the vote three ways."
"What was shaping up to be a potential November nail-biter is now looking like a fait accompli, according to some experts. Zohran is heavily likely to win in November; he has not made any mistakes this general election, Democratic strategist Trip Yang told amNewYork. Zohran's numbers are like Teflon; no matter how many ill-intentioned attacks from his opponents, his favorables are still really high."
With under six weeks until Nov. 4 and just over four until early voting, the New York City mayoral race is in a holding pattern. Zohran Mamdani leads by double digits and dominates a crowded field whose opponents are splitting votes. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams, both running on independent lines, have launched sustained negative attacks focused on Mamdani's lack of executive experience, past criticisms of the NYPD, support for decriminalizing sex work, and an affordability platform labeled unrealistic. Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist Assembly member, has maintained favorability above 40%, and those attacks have had limited impact given low favorability of his attackers and voter willingness to accept pivots on past positions.
