Mamdani is warning New Yorkers about the Trump administration’s impacts to the city — and his opponents’ ties to the president

The latest Siena poll, conducted between August 4-7, shows that 23 percent of conservatives back Mamdani, which is higher than former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo 's 18 percent and New York Mayor Eric Adams' 9 percent. Cuomo and Adams are expected to battle for the mayoralty as independent candidates in the general election in November.
