A new poll in New York City’s mayorial race reveals a narrowing gap between Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent. The survey by Atlas Intel shows Mamdani leading with 40.6% support, while Cuomo has climbed to 34%. Republican Curtis Sliwa remains at 24.1%, but the results indicate a closer contest if Sliwa were not in the race, with Cuomo projected to lead Mamdani 50% to 42%. The poll, conducted days after earlier surveys showing Mamdani with a larger advantage, highlights fluctuations in voter sentiment as Tuesday’s election nears. Atlas Intel’s findings carry a margin of error of 3 percentage points. Meanwhile, the New Jersey governor’s race remains tightly contested, with Democrat Mikie Sherrill holding a narrow 50% to 49% lead over Republican Jack Ciattarelli, according to a separate Atlas poll. Former President Barack Obama is set to campaign for Sherrill in Newark ahead of the election.
