“Polls give us a snapshot in time,” Mamdani said. “It’s great when there’s a good one. It’s, you know, we look past it when there’s a bad one. But really, all they are – are a prediction. It’s up to us to actually win this race.”

“I think the polls have no idea what they’re talking about because they have never seen this kind of turnout before,” Cuomo said.
“I don’t believe any of the polls,” Sliwa said. “I believe the people because I’m in the streets, I’m in the subways.”
