A recent poll conducted by Fox News reveals that Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani holds a 16-point lead in the race for New York City mayor, with 47% of likely voters supporting him. His independent opponent, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, trails at 31%, while Republican Curtis Sliwa registers 15% backing.
The data marks a decline from mid-October when Mamdani’s lead stood at around 24 points and had exceeded the 50% mark. The narrowing margin comes amid a flurry of campaign-stage developments, including major endorsements and an uptick in voter interest for Cuomo’s campaign.
Analysts highlight that although Mamdani maintains a comfortable lead, the race is now entering a more volatile phase. Cuomo’s rising support and Sliwa’s inability to gain ground suggest potential vote consolidation ahead of Election Day.
