Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani would still lead in the November general election, albeit by a far slimmer margin, if the field shrank to a one-on-one bout between himself and rival former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a new Siena College and New York Times poll released Tuesday found.
The survey of 1,284 registered voters taken between Sept. 2-6 found that Mamdani, a democratic socialist assembly member, holds a four-point advantage over Cuomo among likely voters (48% to 44%) — playing out what could happen if both incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa drop out.
