Director for Marist Institute for Public Opinion talks about latest mayoral poll [View all]

A new poll from Marist University shows the race for mayor is tightening as the final days on the campaign trail approaches.

About 43% of respondents said former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is their first choice for mayor, while 31% said Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is their top choice and 8% said City Comptroller Brad Lander.

The race tightens even further after accounting for ranked-choice voting.

The poll also shows that Cuomo only passes the 50% threshold needed for victory in the seventh round. In that hypothetical scenario, Mamdani finishes in second place with 45%, with all other candidates eliminated.
