Now, it's not enough good news out of New York, but it's some good news. Apparently, there's a brand new poll in New York that shows that Cuomo is actually catching up to Zoran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, the disgraced former governor of New York, who is really the only hope at stopping Zorn Mamdani in the New York mayoral race. Curtis Leu was sticking around for reasons unknown to anyone but himself and his family., this brand new poll that is out from Suffolk University shows that MAMO |
| 1:14.9 | no longer leads Cuomo by 20 points or 15 points. |
| 1:18.9 | That lead is down to 10, and MAMDani is stuck at 44%. |
| 1:22.1 | Now, typically, when somebody wins that New York mayoral race, they win well over a majority. |
| 1:26.4 | Here, you have Mamdani at 44. You have Cuomo at 34, and you have Sliwa at 11%. And so again, there's going to be a lot of talk if Mamdani ends up mayor about why Curtis Sliwa stayed in the race. And this is not an anti-Curdis point. This is just a reality point. Curtis Slewa is not going to be the next mayor of New York, and if his boat share is larger than the margin of victory for Mamdani, |
| 1:46.8 | there are going to be a lot of |
| 1:47.4 | questions to be asked. And again, the main question is going to be asked if Andrew Cuomo, why is such a terrible candidate. And there'll be big questions of the New York population. Why are you all insipid. But the real question |
| 1:57.2 | firstly was going to be why you didn't |
| 1:58.7 | drop out. As David |
| 2:00.9 | Pellialogos, director of the Suffolk University |
| 2:03.0 | Political Research Center says, there's one real question for Sliwa is going to be why you didn't drop out. As David Paliologos, |
| 2:01.8 | director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center says, there's one person in New York |
| 2:05.5 | City whose voters could have an outsized impact on the outcome. And it's Slewa. So this is the |
| 2:12.0 | first poll since Mayor Adams, Eric Adams, dropped out of the race. Most of his support bled on |
| 2:17.0 | over to Andrew Cuomo. |
| 2:19.5 | It is also the second poll to show Cuomo narrowing the gap with Mamdani since Adams dropped out of the race. |
| 2:27.6 | A lot of the opposition to Mamdani is materializing a support for Cuomo, which is precisely what you would expect. |
| 2:33.6 | Because again, it's not like Andrew Cuomo has any great shakes. Mamdani is running a terrible final week of this campaign. Truly an awful, awful final week of this campaign. He has decided that his closing message is going to be that New York City is famous for Islamophobia. And if you don't elect him, it's because you don't like Muslims. which is a wild statement in a city that suffered 9-11, |
