With five voting days remaining and a heavy turnout in early voting showing encouraging signs for Andrew Cuomo<\/a>, the latest Quinnipiac University<\/a> poll released on Wednesday indicated a slightly tightening race, with the frontrunner, Zohran Mamdani, losing votes while the number of undecided voters increases.<\/p>\n The poll of 911 likely New York City voters, conducted from Oct. 23 to 27, found that Mamdani lost three percentage points since its last survey on Oct. 9<\/a> \u2014 dropping to 43% from 46%. Cuomo\u2019s support remained steady between the two polls, at 33%, but he\u2019s now within 10 points of Mamdani. Republican Curtis Sliwa, meanwhile, lost one point, dropping from 15% to 14%.<\/p>\n The new poll, which has a +\/- 4% margin of error, found that 6% of voters are undecided; that\u2019s double from the 3% who said they were undecided in the previous Quinnipiac poll. Three percent refused to respond, compared to 2% who did the same in the previous survey.<\/p>\n Wednesday\u2019s Quinnipiac poll results were consistent with a Monday Suffolk University survey<\/a> that also showed Cuomo within 10 points of Mamdani.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe candidates have made their case, early voting is underway, Zohran Mamdani has a 10-point lead over Andrew Cuomo with Curtis Sliwa a distant third, but one wildcard remains,\u201d said Mary Snow, Quinnipiac University Poll assistant director, in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe percentage of likely voters not weighing in has increased a bit since earlier this month, suggesting there\u2019s room for movement in the final stretch,\u201d she added.\n<\/p>\n
