- A survey of 967 likely city voters found Zohran Mamdani leading the four-way race with 45%, Cuomo trailing by double digits, and Adams polling at 7%.
- The internal poll could determine Mayor Eric Adams's future, with ballots set to be printed Tuesday and sources saying he may withdraw next month.
- Even if Adams exits, Andrew Cuomo would gain most support but still likely trail Zohran Mamdani, while operatives including Steve Witkoff parachuted in to engineer a Cuomo–Mamdani head-to-head.
