NYC Mayor's Race: Mamdani tops 50% in likely voter poll, widening lead over Cuomo, Sliwa
Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani has widened his lead in the New York City mayors race, breaking 50% among likely voters for the first time, according to a Fox News poll released Thursday.
Among likely voters, Mamdani captures 52% support, compared with 28% for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, 14% for Republican Curtis Sliwa, and 2% for Mayor Eric Adams, who dropped out after the deadline to remove his name from the ballot. Among all registered voters, Mamdani earns 49%, followed by Cuomo with 28% and Sliwa with 13%, while Adams receives 3%.
The survey, conducted Oct. 1014 among 1,003 registered voters, including 793 likely voters, indicates that Mamdanis base appears the most committed: 89% of his registered-voter supporters say they are certain about their choice, compared with 75% of Cuomos and 82% of Sliwas.
The poll finds 42% of New Yorkers are satisfied with how things are going in the city, up modestly from 37% in September. Crime remains the top concern, cited by 25% of respondents, followed by the cost of living (20%) and housing affordability (16%).
