A recent poll suggests that if Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa were to drop out, Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani and Independent candidate Andrew Cuomo would be virtually tied.
The poll, conducted by Gotham Polling and the city AARP, indicates that without Sliwa in the race, Mamdani would lead with 44.6% of the vote, while Cuomo would trail closely behind at 40.7%.
However, a significant 15% of voters over the age of 50 remain undecided.
According to the poll, Cuomo's support among older voters has increased by nine points since August.
Currently, with all three candidates still in the race, Mamdani is leading his opponents by double digits, as reported by the New York Post.
