Mamdani takes a big lead in Cuomo, remains in the field, in the race for New York town hall

With less than two months before election day, Zohran Mamdani has a dominant advance on his rivals for the mayor of New York, according to two new polls.

Mamdani, the legislator of the 33 -year -old Democratic Socialist State of Queens, who shocked the political world in June with his convincing victory over former governor Andrew Cuomo and nine other candidates to capture the appointment to the mayor of the Democratic Party, sits on 22 points on Cuomo and the rest of the field in the two new armies.

Mamdani takes 45% support from the probable voters in New York in a Quinnipiac University survey published on Wednesday.

Cuomo, who resigned from his post as governor in 2021 in the midst of several scandals and who appeared as an independent candidate in the general elections after losing the primary, is 23% support in the survey, which was carried out from September 4 to 8.

The co-founder of Guardian Angels, Curtis Sliwa, who, for a second consecutive election, is the Republican candidate for the town hall in the city dominated by the Democrats, is 15%. And the outgoing mayor besieged Eric Adams, who presents himself as independent after having decided to jump the Democratic primary in the middle of the anemic survey, took support of 12% in the survey.

“In a mayor’s race which seems to become more intense day by day, Zohran Mamdani is on the back less than two months until the ballot day,” said assistant director of the survey of Quinnipiac University, Mary Snow.

Sliwa and Adams have both committed to staying in the race in recent weeks in the midst of several reports that President Donald Trump’s advisers have exercised administrative roles for the two hopes of the town hall if they abandoned.

Trump says Cuomo had a “good blow” to beat Mamdani in the elections of the mayor of New York

Trump, a native New York who now calls Florida, asked that the narrow field in order to defeat Mamdani, that the president pretended several times is a communist.

“I would like to see two people abandon and be one over it. And I think it’s a race that could be won,” Trump said last week.

The Quinnipiac survey suggested that if Adams finished his re -election campaign, Mamdani would lead Cuomo 46% to 30% with Sliwa at 17%.

But the New York Times / Siena survey, which was on the field from September 2 to 6, underlined the border of Mamdani Cuomo 48% -44% in a hypothetical match with two candidates.

The Quinnipiac survey suggests that Mamdani donors are more enthusiastic (91%) about their candidate than Cuomo (75%), Adams (75%) or Sliwa (79%).

“The advantage of Mamdani on enthusiasm among supporters is a plus,” noted Snow.

If he wins the general elections of November, the Mamdani, born Ugandan, would make history as the first Muslim mayor and first millennium in the most populous city in the country.

Mamdani has reached the primary democratic victory thanks to an energetic campaign which has emphasized the affordability and the high cost of New York life. It was fueled by an army of basic supporters and the support of the best national national champions, including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York and Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont.

Mamdani has made intelligent use of social media platforms, including Tiktok, while he was engaging in low propagation voters. He proposed to eliminate the prices to set up the vast bus system from New York, making rents from Cuny (University of the City of New York), freezing rents on municipal housing, offering “free daycares” for children up to 5 years and the establishment of grocery stores managed by the government.

Among a list of nine problems offered, 30% of survey respondents said that crime was the most urgent issue, 21% saying affordable housing and 13% of inflation. No other problem fell in love with two figures.

A little more than two thirds of the probable voters interviewed said they were not satisfied with how things are happening in New York. And two thirds said they disapprove of the way Adams manages his work as mayor.

A majority of those questioned said they wanted the next mayor to resist Trump on immigration (60%) and crime (56%), with less than four in ten saying that they wanted the next mayor to work with the president on the two questions.
