GRANNY-KILLER CUOMO TO THE RESCUE? Cuomo closes gap on Mamdani as NYC mayor race tightens dramatically in new poll.

With just over a week until Election Day, Zohran Mamdani holds a double-digit lead in the raucous race for the nation’s most populous city, but former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is narrowing the gap, according to a new public opinion poll.

Mamdani, the 34-year-old democratic socialist state lawmaker from the New York City borough of Queens who shocked the political world in June with his convincing win over Cuomo and nine other candidates to capture the Democratic Party’s mayoral nomination, stands at 44% support among likely voters in the most recent survey in the race, from Suffolk University.

Cuomo, who resigned as governor in 2021 amid multiple scandals and who is running as an Independent candidate in the general election after losing the primary, had 34% support in the survey.

The survey was conducted Thursday through Sunday, entirely after incumbent Mayor Eric Adams endorsed Cuomo in a bid to defeat Mamdani.

The only thing I’m certain of is that New Yorkers will come out the losers.
