WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 New York City mayoral candidates Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani would be neck and neck if Republican candidate Curtis Silwa would drop out, according to a new poll.<\/p>\n

The poll conducted by Gotham Polling and the city AARP<\/a>, said that if Silwa were to drop out, Democratic candidate Mamdani would lead by 44.6% and Independent candidate Cuomo would be at 40.7%.<\/p>\n

However, there would be almost a 15% group of people who would be undecided over the age of 50.<\/p>\n

In August, Cuomo\u2019s support among older voters increased by nine points.<\/p>\n

As of now with all three candidates still in the race, Mamdani is leading his opponents by double digits, according to the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Three of the top issues in the New York City gubernatorial race are cost of living, housing affordability and safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decisive factor in this race may be the older voters who haven\u2019t yet made up their minds,\u201d Gotham Polling and Analytics President Stephen Graves said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the contest narrows to two leading candidates, the 50-plus electorate\u2014by far the most reliable voting bloc\u2014will likely determine who becomes the next mayor of New York City,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

The survey was conducted between Oct. 14-15 and polled 1,040 likely voters living in New York City. <\/p>\n

The survey had a margin of sampling error of +\/-4 percentage points and a 95% confidence level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 New York City mayoral candidates Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani would be neck and neck…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9537,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[80,8012,154,8013,9,24,63,5148,8011,8010,134,136,135,82],"class_list":["post-9677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-staten-island","tag-andrew-cuomo","tag-cost-of-living","tag-curtis-sliwa","tag-housing-affordability","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-mayoral-race","tag-older-voters","tag-poll","tag-staten-island","tag-staten-island-headlines","tag-staten-island-news","tag-zohran-mamdani"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9677\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
