A new poll suggested that democratic socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s sheen may already be wearing off among voters. Mamdani’s support appears to have dropped 14 percentage points from less than a week ago, based on a previous poll, while Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa’s surged 12 percent. Mamdani shocked the political world by winning the Democratic primary, defeating former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He now faces Sliwa and Cuomo, as well as current New York City Mayor Eric Adams, in the general election. Cuomo and Adams are both running as independents, assuming they each decide to stay in the race.

Huh. Wonder if the Republicans have finally learned to 'alter' polls and votes?

I've always liked Curtis Sliwa since the days of "Guardian Angels"
NY may never elect a Republican.
But wouldn't it be a great beginning?
NewYork, then Los Angeles, Chicago, Sacramento. Portland et al

He's not perfect but he's a Republican who loves this city. Maybe Rudy can help him save it

Too bad. I was hoping they'd vote for what they deserve.

Lots of stupid in NYC but this is refreshing news. No need to lie or stretch the truth about Commie Boy. The real truth is scary enough. However, like I said lot's of stupid living there.

Millions of dollars have been paid for muslims and communists to supply the answers for which the pollsters are looking but the more Mamdani talks the worse he looks.

There're enough people who voted Trump in 2024 to win this thing. Problem is they have to put down the remote and go vote.

Glad to hear from a real New Yorker who is a sane, reasonable person. I've been impressed with Sliwa since the long ago days of the Guardian Angels, and while I don't know a lot about him, I've heard a couple of short, not very insightful interviews (crummy interviewers) that still sounded good.
I trust Mrs. Colon's judgement very much on this sort of thing. But, then....I won't be voting there, and I believe she will be.

I wish he’d lose the red beret.

If Sliwa should become Mayor, the leftists would blame him immediately for every wrong move made in NYC since Adams' first day and the list is very long . Fortunately he has the courage to endure it.

Sliwa is a fantastic human being...for years he and his group rode the New York subways and stopped crime....their red berets were always welcomed in New York ...he was the man who scared the crap out of criminals...the streets were patrolled by the Guardian Angels and the criminals knew it...just imagine what New York could become...if he won....I guess the criminals would have to move to California were anything goes...or so says governor Newscum....

No one candidate is perfect but always like Mr. Sliwa and he truly cares about NYC. He is also an animal lover and I believe one of his hopes, if elected, is to stop the killing of cats and dogs if not adopted after a certain time in the city shelters.
Saw Rep. Lawler on The Will Cain show on Friday and he was asked about this race. All he could say was that others need to withdraw, and could not even endorse Mr. Sliwa.

Sliwa could pull this off if Cuomo and Adams drain enough Democrat votes away from Mamdami. Democrats have voted for Republicans and Independents before Guiliani and Bloomberg are examples and if they are old enough to remember the City was safe and clean under their administrations but it didn't take long for the Democrats to destroy the city though.

I have a suggestion for Sliwa. In a city populated with 90% democrats, Greenies and socialists, perhaps you shouldn't be talking about defeating democrats. Perhaps you should be talking about how your policies are better and talking about defeating the entrenched elite.
If you lead with republican vs democrat, half the population stops listening

Stopping the long bonfire that is NYC will be monumental for whomever wins. The difference is that only Sliwa will try, the others will throw gasoline on it. He will face the same obstacles that DJT is having.

If all 4 candidates stay in the race then Zohran will win. Remember - he was trailing in the polls slightly before the primary and won by 7 even before the rank choice nonsense was added in.

The poll said it's a tie between Madman, Cuomo, and Sliwa. The race will be decided by which candidate mobilizes their support best and by who cheats best. My money is still on Madman Mamdani.

Originally from the Bronx projects. Finally got my last sibling out of NYC. Momdani will be the best thing to happen to NYC. A certain huge retirement of police, mass sell off of luxury properties.
The golden goose of the NYSE will finalize realize communists hat capitalism and relocate to Jersey City or better yet, Texas or Florida.
Mad Max Thunderdome will look like child’s play!

Hopefully the New Yawkers finally understand the last time their CITY was well run, SAFE and Prosperous was under a Republican Mayor Giuliani!

Don't worry, there are probably tens of thousands of ballots in boxes, in the trunks of cars and in garages, waiting to be found/discovered should they be needed!

I like #3's comment. Sliwa loves New York, while Mamdani, Cuomo and Adams love themselves. "Trust is based upon experience." New Yorkers know who Sliwa is, and know who the other candidates are as well; besides just as Trump has quality people surrounding him, there are enough people who still remember what New York still is, who can volunteer to work for Sliwa for a year or two to revitalize the city.

The socialist, grinning, heart-tapping commie is Castro without the cigar or camo wearing guerrillas in the hills.
Curtis Sliwa is an excellent choice!

Sliwa was a moron when I knew him 50 years ago.
ask any of his 3 ex wives or his baby mama. He has never run anything but his mouth. His "Angels" are a band of misfits.
The NYS republicans could make a real inroad here, but because Catsimatidis, think his radio mouth Sliwa, with his Leo Gorcy act has a chance, we are stuck with never Trumper Curtis.
In the meantime, Alvin Bragg, the pro crime DA will be re-elected, because there is no opposition.
