Democrat nominee Zohran Mamdani has widened his lead in the New York City mayor\u2019s race<\/a>, holding a double-digit advantage over independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa, according to a Fox News poll<\/a> released Thursday.<\/p>\n Among registered voters, Mamdani receives 49% support, followed by Cuomo with 28% and Sliwa with 13%. Mayor Eric Adams, who dropped out after the deadline to remove names from the ballot, was still included in the poll and earned 3%.<\/p>\n When the results are narrowed to likely voters, Mamdani\u2019s lead grows. He captures 52%, compared with 28% for Cuomo, 14% for Sliwa, and 2% for Adams.\n<\/p>\n The survey, conducted Oct. 10\u201314 among 1,003 registered voters, including 793 likely voters, indicates that Mamdani\u2019s base appears the most committed: 89% of his registered-voter supporters say they are certain about their choice, compared with 75% of Cuomo\u2019s and 82% of Sliwa\u2019s.<\/p>\n The poll finds 42% of New Yorkers are satisfied with how things are going in the city, up modestly from 37% in September. Crime remains the top concern, cited by 25% of respondents, followed by the cost of living (20%) and housing affordability (16%).<\/p>\n On major issues, voters express more confidence in Mamdani than in his rivals. Nearly half say they trust him most to handle the local economy and cost of living (49%), housing (49%), and taxes (47%). He also leads on crime (40%), ahead of Cuomo at 32% and Sliwa at 26%.<\/p>\n Mamdani, a Queens Assembly Member and Democratic Socialist, is viewed favorably by 58% of voters, up eight points since last month. Cuomo\u2019s favorability stands at 50%, while Sliwa\u2019s is 36%.\n<\/p>\n Since Fox\u2019s last poll in Septembe<\/a>r, each of the three candidates has improved their public image: Mamdani\u2019s favorability climbed eight points, matching Sliwa\u2019s gain, while Cuomo rose five points. Although Cuomo remains viewed less positively than Mamdani, he has turned his rating around, shifting from a net negative of five points (45% favorable to 50% unfavorable) last month to a slightly positive two-point margin (50% to 48%) in the latest poll.<\/p>\n
