Mamdani takes lead in general election poll while Adams is left behind

Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani leads former Gov. Andrew Cuomo by 10 points in New York City’s general election for mayor, while Mayor Eric Adams ranks lower than Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, according to a new independent poll.

Mamdani leads with 35% of voters, followed by Cuomo at 25%, Sliwa at 14%, Adams at 11% and independent candidate Jim Walden at 1%. But 13% of voters also remain undecided, presenting a possible opportunity for campaigns to pick up additional votes.
