A recent Suffolk University poll reveals that former Governor Andrew Cuomo is narrowing his deficit in the New York City mayoral race, reducing the gap between him and front-runner Zohran Mamdani to a 10-point margin. The latest survey shows Mamdani at 44% support compared to Cuomo’s 34% among likely voters, marking a substantial shift as the campaign heads into its final stretch.
The findings indicate Cuomo has made significant inroads with Hispanic and independent voters—areas where he previously trailed by double digits. Meanwhile, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa remains a distant third at 11%, a factor that could complicate Cuomo’s ability to overtake Mamdani. With just over a week until Election Day and 7% of voters still undecided, analysts say the race is entering its most competitive phase yet.
