“Socialist mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani would still beat Andrew Cuomo in the general election even if President Trump somehow cleared the field for a one-on-one match-up, according to a new poll published Tuesday. The sobering survey for ex-governor Cuomo has Mamdani still beating him — 48 to 44 — even if Mayor Eric Adams and GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa manage to get their names off the ballot, the poll from Siena Research/NY Times shows. ‘The big ‘if’ is what would happen if both Sliwa and Adams were to drop out of the race and make it a two-person showdown,’ said Siena director Don Levy. ‘Cuomo would capture the vast majority of both Adams’[s] and Sliwa’s current support and win a majority of voters over [age] 45. At present, Cuomo would need both Adams and Sliwa to drop out in order to close the gap’.” [editor’s note: The next question would be, if Cuomo dropped out, and it was Commdani (D) vs Guardian Angel founder Sliwa (R), how would that fare? – SAT] [additional editor’s note: My guess would be Mamdani 80, Sliwa 20 – TLK] (09/09/25)
