NYC Mayor’s Race: Marist poll has Cuomo gaining ground, but Mamdani nearing majority support

A new survey from Marist College released on Thursday showed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo gaining ground on Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani — but it also indicates Mamdani is inching closer to securing majority support among voters.

The Marist poll, released at midnight Thursday, gives Mamdani a 15-point edge on Cuomo among likely voters with less than a week until the Nov. 4 general election and amid early voting. Cuomo has gained six points on Mamdani based on Marist’s last poll in September, taken while current Mayor Eric Adams was still in the race, which showed Mamdani held a 21% lead over Cuomo.
