POLITICSNY: NYC Mayor’s Race: New poll shows Mamdani comfortably ahead, but without majority, in 5-way race

by Ethan Stark-Miller

Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani remains comfortably ahead in the five-way general election race for mayor — and across several scenarios in which one or more of his rivals drop out, a Gotham Polling and AARP survey released Tuesday revealed.

The poll of 1,376 likely New York City voters, taken on Aug. 11, shows Mamdani leading the five-way race with nearly 42% of the vote. He is followed by independent former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (23.4%), Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa (16.5%), independent incumbent Mayor Eric Adams (8.8%), and independent attorney Jim Walden (1.4%). The other 7.9% remain undecided.
