The new survey, which was published on Thursday (October 9), shows a democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, who holds the lead over independent candidate Andrew Cuom, but narrowed the margin after the race of the current mayor Eric Adams of the race.
Mamdani leads with 46% of probable voters support, while Cuomo Trails at 33% and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa holds 15%, detects a new quinnipiac survey.
In the previous Quinnipiac survey, a four -way race measured, Mamdani had 45%, Cuomo 23%, SLIWA 15%and Adams 12%.
With Adams’s departure, Mamdani’s leadership decreased from 22 points to 13 points, which reflected the significant shift of Adams’ supporters to Cuomo, while Sliwa’s support remained unchanged.
Historical context and sentiment of voters
Mamdani, a democratic socialist, would become the first Muslim mayor of New York and the first Asian mayor if he was elected. Despite his leadership, the survey emphasizes the persistent concerns of voters about his experience: almost three -quarters of probable voters said that Cuomo had the right experience for the mayor compared to less than 40% for Mamdani, who was first elected to the State Legislative Corps in 2020.
However, the enthusiasm among Mamdani voters remain high, with about 90% claiming that they are very or somewhat enthusiastic about 69% of the probable Cuomo voters.
Cuomo’s advantage remains low: more than half of the respondents said it was not ethical, and quoted the resignation of 2021 in the middle of the accusation and criticism of sexual harassment and criticism over his policy of the Covid-19an Nursing House.
A key perception of policy
The survey also emphasizes the differences in voters’ priorities:
Housing costs: Almost 50% of respondents believe that Mamdani can reduce housing costs, compared to 25% for Cuomo.
Economic growth: Cuomo has a slight advantage, with 41% of voters to be a better growth of the urban economy compared to 35% for Mamdani.
Relations with the White House: Voters were divided by which candidate would best represent the interests of New York federally.
Adams’s output and the presence of voting
Mayor Eric Adams dropped out of race 28. The survey examined more than 1,000 probable voters in early October, about a month before the election day of November 4 and just more than two weeks before the beginning of the early vote.
In the June democratic primary primary primary primary ranking Mamdani for most of the race, he watched Cuomo, but in recent days he set off sharply to ensure a decisive victory and gain the nomination on the side in a strongly democratic city.
