Cuomo Sees Vote Uptick, But Still Lags Behind Mamdani After Adams' Exit: Poll

Andrew Cuomo gained 10 points after Eric Adams exited the race, but Zohran Mamdani leads with 46% support in a Quinnipiac poll of 1,015 likely voters.

  • On Thursday, a Quinnipiac University poll found Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani leading with 46% of likely voters, independent Andrew Cuomo at 33%, and Republican Curtis Sliwa at 15%.
  • After Mayor Eric Adams exited last month, Cuomo gained about 10 points, rising from 23% to 33%, while Zohran Mamdani's lead shrank from 22 to 13 points in the past month.
  • Poll details show 90% of likely voters backing Zohran Mamdani are enthusiastic versus 69% for Andrew Cuomo, who is viewed unfavorably by 52%, and 48% prefer Mamdani on housing costs compared to Cuomo's 25%.
  • Quinnipiac's analysis noted nearly all of Adams' supporters shifted to Cuomo, cutting into Mamdani's lead, while Curtis Sliwa remains at 15% and resists dropping out; Cuomo's team claimed momentum, but Mamdani's camp dismissed it.
  • Cuomo's camp reported he nearly doubled fundraising and received $2,329,463 in matching funds as the Campaign Finance Board prepares its final award on Oct. 30 before the Nov. 4 election.
