Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, maintains a lead over independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in the latest polls heading into Election Day.

A poll by AtlasIntel, which surveyed 2,404 likely voters from Friday to Sunday, found that approximately 44 percent of respondents would vote for Mamdani, while around 39 percent would vote for Cuomo, the former governor of New York. Around 16 percent would vote for Sliwa. The poll has a 2 percentage point margin of error. 

Other recent polls have shown Mamdani holding a double-digit lead over Cuomo. 

Why It Matters 

New York Assemblyman Mamdani, a democratic socialist, beat Cuomo in the Democratic primary. Cuomo decided to remain in the race as an independent. Sliwa currently trails his two competitors in the polls. 

Mamdani has secured endorsements from key individuals in the Democratic Party, including New York Governor Kathy Hochul, New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, also gave his endorsement.

President Donald Trump gave a late endorsement to Cuomo. The president has called Mamdani a communist and threatened to withdraw federal funding for New York City if Mamdani wins the race.
