final AtlasIntel Poll for the New York City mayoral race,\u00a0<\/a>while Cuomo trails at 39.4 percent.<\/p>\nThe tightening in the race\u00a0comes just one day before Election Day\u00a0as Sliwa\u2019s backing dropped sharply, narrowing Mamdani\u2019s lead to just 4.5 percentage points.<\/p>\n
The previous poll, conducted over the five days prior, showed Mamdani, 34, with a wider lead over his opponents, at 40.6 percent compared to 34 percent and 24.1 percent, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, the Real Clear Polling average of polls puts Mamdani’s advantage at +14.7 points over Cuomo.<\/p>\n
What People Are Saying<\/p>\n
Cuomo was not directly asked about Trump\u2019s comments during an interview Monday evening on WABC Radio but said he agreed with the sentiment: \u201cThe president is right. A vote for Sliwa is a vote for Mamdani. And that\u2019s why this election is now up to the Republicans.”<\/p>\n
Mamdani, wrote on X Sunday after Trump told 60 Minutes that he would choose Cuomo over Mamdani:\u00a0\u201cCongratulations, @AndrewCuomo. I know how hard you worked for this.”<\/p>\n
Mamdani told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday night after Trump and billionaire Elon Musk announced their backing of Cuomo: “We’re seeing the two twin architects of this second term … saying clearly to New Yorkers their candidate is [Cuomo]. And they’ve picked [Cuomo] because they know he will be the puppet that they want here in NYC.”<\/p>\n
Conservative commentator Tomi Lahren wrote on X, “So I know a lot of folks think @CurtisSliwa should drop out and I considered that as the best option too but now? Nah. Why throw Cuomo and NYC that lifeline? Why should Curtis have to back down to **maybe** save that city from its own stupidity? You all had plenty of time and best you could come up with in your Dem hellhole was Cuomo and Mam-commie. I hate to see NYC flounder but at some point, it\u2019s on you guys. If you get Mamdani or even Cuomo, it\u2019s a testament to your own stupidity. Good luck.”<\/p>\n
Trump’s Monday Truth Social post said in full, “If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival! It can only get worse with a Communist at the helm, and I don\u2019t want to send, as President, good money after bad. It is my obligation to run the Nation, and it is my strong conviction that New York City will be a Complete and Total Economic and Social Disaster should Mamdani win. His principles have been tested for over a thousand years, and never once have they been successful. I would much rather see a Democrat, who has had a Record of Success, WIN, than a Communist with no experience and a Record of COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE. He was nothing as an Assemblyman, ranked at the bottom of the class and, as Mayor of potentially, again, the Greatest City in the World, HE HAS NO CHANCE to bring it back to its former Glory! We must also remember this \u2014 A vote for Curtis Sliwa (who looks much better without the beret!) is a vote for Mamdani. Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job. He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!”<\/p>\n
