"Sliwa - who was born in New York City, founded the Guardian Angels in 1979 and says he'll "die in this city" - is the current underdog in the race for mayor. A recently released Quinnipiac University poll found that Democratic Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani leads with 46% of likely voters backing him, followed by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo with 33% and Sliwa with 15%."
"BLUE STATE GOVERNOR WARNS A MAMDANI N.Y.C. MAYORAL VICTORY COULD HURT WALL STREET, NEIGHBORING STATE'S ECONOMY & "The economy is in a severe decline," he said. "It's been a massive movement of equity and investment out of New York City ... to Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Texas, Tennessee." Data supports some of Sliwa's warning, showing that New York City's population fell by roughly 4.5% between 2020 and 2024, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, as residents relocated to lower-cost states including Florida and Texas."
New York City's decline is likened to the film 'Escape From New York', blaming progressive mismanagement, high taxes and rising crime for population and investment losses. Progressive policies are portrayed as shifting priorities toward social-service provision over production, prompting an exodus. A Quinnipiac University poll shows Zohran Mamdani at 46%, Andrew Cuomo 33%, and Curtis Sliwa 15%. Census data indicate a roughly 4.5% population decline from 2020 to 2024 as residents move to lower-cost states. Proposed remedies emphasize retention under the slogan 'improve, don't move' and targeted economic relief for younger generations.
