Recent polling data from Tulchin Research and other sources reveal a complex dynamic in the 2025 New York City mayoral race. In a head-to-head matchup, former Governor Andrew Cuomo leads Zohran Mamdani 52% to 41%. However, in a multi-candidate scenario including Mamdani, Cuomo, Eric Adams, Curtis Sliwa, and Jim Walden, Mamdani leads with 42%, Cuomo follows with 26%, Sliwa at 17%, Adams at 9%, and Walden at 3%. Betting markets reflect Mamdani as the strong favorite to win, with odds around 83% to 85%, while Cuomo's chances are estimated between 9% and 11%. Eric Adams recently surpassed Cuomo in a separate Gotham poll, registering 35% to Cuomo's 24%. Cuomo has pledged to drop out by September 16 if he is not leading in the polls, and there are calls for Adams and Sliwa to consolidate support behind the candidate best positioned to defeat Mamdani. The election is 69 days away, and strategic decisions among the candidates could reshape the race. Additionally, there is mention of Adams potentially being selected as Lieutenant Governor on Kathy Hochul's ticket next year.
