Statement from Rich Azzopardi, Spokesman for Cuomo for Mayor Campaign, on Latest Quinnipiac Poll
“Make no mistake: The race is tightening, and Andrew Cuomo is closing in fast.
"This is the second poll in a week showing Zohran Mamdani stuck below 45 percent of the vote– despite a lack of scrutiny and glowing press coverage – and Andrew Cuomo gaining.
"He’s closed the gap by 3 points from the last Q poll and his coalition is expanding — keeping a third of Democrats, winning half of Republicans, and leading with independents.
"Most importantly – older voters are breaking hard for Cuomo, and they’re the ones showing up early.
"That’s how you win in New York City. We’ve seen this movie before — in the Bloomberg and Giuliani races, late polls missed the surge of real, working-class voters who turn out when it counts. The same thing is happening now.
"So while Mamdani continues to spew word salad, he’s stuck in the mud.
The momentum is with Andrew Cuomo — and it’s only growing everyday.”
