A recent poll conducted by Gotham Polling and the city AARP reveals that if Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa were to drop out, Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani and Independent candidate Andrew Cuomo would be almost tied.
According to the poll, Mamdani would lead with 44.6% of the vote, while Cuomo would have 40.7%. However, a significant 15% of voters over the age of 50 would remain undecided.
Notably, Cuomo's support among older voters increased by nine points in August. Currently, with all three candidates still in the race, Mamdani is leading his opponents by double digits, as reported by the New York Post.
