Manhattan Inst. Poll: Policies Rejected, yet Mamdani Leads

In a surprising turn of events, Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani has taken a fifteen-point lead in the New York City mayoral race, just a week before Election Day. However, the poll reveals a disconnect between Mamdani's campaign popularity and his policy proposals, such as keeping the 2019 bail-reform law and making transit free, which are unpopular among voters. If Republican Curtis Sliwa were to drop out, Mamdani's lead over Cuomo would narrow to just four points. Despite policy disagreements, Mamdani's popularity remains strong.
