Mamdani Leads Dramatic NY Mayoral Race Going Into Voting Day
Democrat Zohran Mamdani leads with 46% support in polls while Cuomo and Sliwa gain ground as voter concerns focus on democracy and the economy.
- RealClearPolling shows Zohran Mamdani, Democratic nominee, leading with 46.0% as of Friday, Oct. 31, 2025, though his advantage over Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent, has narrowed.
 - With heavy outside spending, campaigns face increased stakes as 480,000 early ballots are cast and Michael Bloomberg donated $1.5 million to a PAC supporting Cuomo, while likely voters not weighing in suggest room for shifts.
 - Quinnipiac's numbers show Mamdani at 43%, Cuomo at 33%, and Sliwa at 14%, Emerson/Hill reports a 50% to 25% lead for Mamdani, while Suffolk shows Cuomo narrowing the gap to 10 points.
 - Because the race uses plurality rules, early voting period ends Sunday, Nov. 2 at 5 p.m., and the top vote-getter on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4, will become mayor.
 - Demographic splits suggest Mamdani expanded support among Black voters from 50% to 71% and commands 69% of voters under 50, while Republicans favor Cuomo 77% to 13% in two-way scenarios and Mamdani leads 51% to 44% if Curtis Sliwa exits the race.
