Several polling entities, such as Siena College or AARP New York and Gotham Polling& Analytics, have Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani leading the mayoral field. AARP's most recent numbers show Mamdani with about 41.8% voter support, followed by former Governor Andrew Cuomo with 23.4%, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa at 16.5%, and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams trailing behind with 8.8%. The poll also reveals important shifts in candidate support across demographic groups.
Mamdani launched his "Five Boroughs Against Trump" tour on August 11. The tour highlights the devastating impacts of the Trump administration on New York City while trying to meet voters in as many communities as possible. He has made several stops throughout the boroughs, including communities in Queens, Staten Island, predominantly Black churches in Brooklyn, a lively celebration in Coney Island's Little Pakistan community, and a walking tour last weekend of the 51st annual Harlem Week in Manhattan on its final day.
