Fox News Poll: Unhappy with NYC’s direction, voters favor Mamdani for mayor by a wide margin
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York City voters across all demographic groups are dissatisfied with the direction of the city, and most are looking for significant change in the city’s government. That sentiment has propelled Democrat Zohran Mamdani to the lead in the mayoral race despite concerns that his proposed tax increases may chase people out of the city.
A new Fox News survey of New York City registered voters finds Mamdani, the Democratic Party’s nominee and self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, leading the race by 18 percentage points with 45% support.
Former New York governor and independent candidate Andrew Cuomo comes in second with 27%, Republican Party nominee Curtis Sliwa gets 11% and current mayor and independent candidate Eric Adams garners 8%. Among likely voters, the race looks largely the same: 47% Mamdani, 29% Cuomo, 11% Sliwa and 7% Adams.
FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS WANT GREATER INVOLVEMENT IN UKRAINE, SUPPORT CURRENT APPROACH IN ISRAEL
The analysis below focuses on preferences and opinions among registered voters.
Some of Mamdani’s best groups include very liberal voters (79%), those under age 35 (61%), women under 45 (60%), Democrats (57%), and Black and Hispanic voters (49% each).
Cuomo receives strong support from Jewish voters (40%), White voters ages 45+ (37%), voters ages 65 and higher (33%) and moderates (31%).
Republicans prefer Sliwa (41%), while five times as many back Cuomo (32%) as Mamdani (6%). Independents are split: 26% Mamdani, 23% Cuomo and 14% each to Adams and Sliwa.
FOX NEWS POLL: TRUMP’S RATINGS ARE STRONG ON BORDER SECURITY, WEAK ON THE ECONOMY
The Big Apple has problems: 62% are dissatisfied with the direction it’s headed, with at least six in 10 Democrats (61%), Republicans (70%) and independents (59%) saying they are unhappy.
That frustration results in three-quarters of voters wanting either substantial (37%), dramatic (20%) or revolutionary change (18%) in how the city’s government is run. Mamdani has a significant lead among both those wanting at least substantial change and those dissatisfied with the city’s trajectory. His advantage is so considerable he also holds an edge with voters satisfied with how things are going.
Mamdani supporters are more enthusiastic about voting this year (63%) and more certain they will back him (83%) compared to the other candidates. Plus, most describe their support as for him (86%) rather than against his opponents (12%).
For Cuomo, 32% of his backers are enthusiastic, 65% are certain and 59% say their vote is for him rather than against his opponents (39%).
Voters say the top three problems facing New York City are crime (25%), followed by the cost of living (20%) and the lack of affordable housing (17%).
Crime is the No. 1 concern for Republicans (50%) and independents (29%) while for Democrats it’s divided across costs (23%), crime (19%) and housing (19%).
Cuomo is narrowly favored (+12 points) among those who prioritize crime, while Mamdani has wide advantages among those citing the cost of living (+40) and housing (+41).
Concerns about the high cost of living, the need for better city services and a heavy tax burden produce nuanced policy opinions. For example, seven in 10 New York City voters think raising taxes will cause a mass exodus of businesses and people that will leave the city more cash strapped. At the same time, another seven in 10 favor raising taxes on residents with an annual income greater than $1 million. There is widespread agreement on both questions among Democrats, Republicans and independents.
There’s a reason Mamdani is campaigning with Bernie Sanders. New Yorkers like the Independent senator from Vermont. Sanders is the most popular individual tested on the survey (61% favorable opinion), followed by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (53%), Mamdani (50%) and Cuomo (45%). Adams (29%), Sliwa (28%) and President Donald Trump (24%) are viewed positively by around one-quarter of voters.
When voters are asked to say in their own words why they like or dislike the candidates, the top positives for Mamdani are liking his policies generally, feeling he cares, change/having new ideas and his focus on affordability. The main reasons given for disliking him are he’s a communist/socialist, his position on Israel, not liking his policies, lack of experience and unrealistic policies.
Are Mamdani’s left-leaning economic policies a potential Achilles heel? Probably not. In a city where more than twice as many voters are registered as Democrats than Republicans, capitalism is viewed more favorably than socialism by just seven points (48% vs. 41%).
Experience is the top reason voters like Cuomo, while sexual harassment allegations are the main reason he is disliked. For Adams, voters also give him the thumbs-up for experience, whereas his detractors mainly focus on allegations of corruption. For Sliwa, his main positive trait is that he’s tough on crime (a top issue for voters), but his main negative is that voters don’t think he is a serious candidate.
«Mamdani is the change candidate in a change election,» says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who helps run the Fox News Poll along with Democrat Chris Anderson. «And, like many voters for change candidates, his supporters are enthusiastic.»
Immigration and the Middle East
Only 3% mention illegal immigration as the city’s No. 1 problem, and when it comes to policy options, most (67%) favor only deporting those charged with crimes but allowing others to stay in the U.S. and apply for citizenship.
On the Middle East, more voters back the Palestinians (46%) than the Israelis (38%). That’s the opposite of results nationally. In line with Mamdani’s criticism of Israel and Cuomo’s support, those backing Mamdani side with the Palestinians by a 49-point margin, while those favoring Cuomo side with the Israelis by 16 points. More Jewish voters prefer Cuomo (40%) than Mamdani (27%) or Adams (12%).
One more thing…
Twice as many NYC voters say the way Republicans talk about politics is leading to an increase in violence (68%) than feel the same about Democrats (32%). Democrats and Republicans are equally likely to think their counterparts’ words lead to violence, while independents are more likely to cite Republican rhetoric as dangerous.

Conducted September 18-22, 2025 under the joint direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News Poll includes interviews with a sample of 1,003 New York City registered voters randomly selected from a statewide voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (150) and cellphones (598) or completed the survey online by following a link received via text message (255). Results based on the registered voter sample have a margin of sampling error of ± 3 percentage points. There was a subsample of 814 likely voters and the margin of sampling error was ±3.5 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. Results among subgroups are only shown when the sample size is at least N=100. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis, and voter file data. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics of respondents are representative of the registered voter population. Likely voters are identified based on past vote history and self-reported likelihood of voting.

Un terremoto en el centro de Bangladesh dejó al menos nueve muertos y más de 300 heridos
Un terremoto de magnitud 5,5 sacudió el centro de Bangladesh el viernes a las 10:38 de la mañana, cobrando al menos nueve vidas y dejando más de 300 heridos, de acuerdo con autoridades gubernamentales y varios medios locales. El epicentro se localizó en Ghorashal, dentro del distrito de Narsingdi, aproximadamente a 25 kilómetros de Daca, la capital del país, y a una profundidad de 10 kilómetros, según datos del Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos (USGS).
El sismo, que según el Departamento Meteorológico de Bangladesh tuvo una duración de 26 segundos y fue registrado con una magnitud de 5,7, desencadenó escenas de pánico en la capital, donde los edificios temblaron y miles de habitantes abandonaron apresuradamente sus viviendas y oficinas.
De acuerdo con reportes de la televisora DBC y el diario Prothom Alo, entre las víctimas mortales se encontraban al menos dos niños. Las muertes se produjeron principalmente debido a la caída de techos y muros, además del colapso de barandillas en un edificio del área de Armanitola, en la parte antigua de Daca, que mató a tres personas que compraban en una carnicería. Estas personas fueron trasladadas a un hospital cercano, donde se confirmó su fallecimiento. El diario Prothom Alo también señaló que alrededor de 252 empleados de la industria de la confección resultaron heridos durante estampidas mientras intentaban evacuar rápidamente sus lugares de trabajo en el distrito de Gazipur, adyacente a Daca, donde se concentran numerosas fábricas y centros industriales.
Familiares y testigos presenciaron escenas de angustia mientras las víctimas eran llevadas a centros médicos, como el Hospital Universitario de Daca, y estudiantes universitarios saltaron desde pisos altos de residencias estudiantiles durante el temblor, reportaron canales de televisión locales. AFP informó que en Daca fue visible el llanto y el miedo de los pobladores en la calle, tras verse sorprendidos por el desastre en el día de descanso nacional.
El Departamento de Bomberos y Defensa Civil movilizó equipos a edificios que presentaban inclinaciones preocupantes y atendió un incendio originado en una estación de energía en el barrio de Baridhara. Además, el gobierno interino declaró que al menos 14 edificios resultaron dañados, según la oficina del líder interino Muhammad Yunus, quien expresó su “profunda conmoción y tristeza por las víctimas reportadas en diferentes distritos” y aseguró que “se están tomando todas las medidas necesarias”.
El impacto del terremoto se sintió incluso en la ciudad india de Calcuta, a más de 325 kilómetros del epicentro, donde habitantes salieron a las calles en busca de resguardo, según testigos entrevistados por AFP. Hasta el momento, no se reportaron daños significativos ni víctimas en India.
El USGS precisó que el norte y sureste de Bangladesh son zonas sísmicamente activas por la interacción de las placas de India y Eurasia, pero la región central, donde ocurrió el sismo reciente, es menos propensa a este tipo de eventos. Históricamente, desde 1950 solo se han registrado 14 movimientos telúricos de magnitud similar en un radio de 250 kilómetros del epicentro.
Según expertos citados por AFP y medios locales, Bangladesh, con una población de 170 millones de habitantes, no está suficientemente preparada para enfrentar terremotos de mayor magnitud, situación que pone en alto riesgo a Daca, con cerca de 2,1 millones de edificaciones.
Las autoridades continúan evaluando los daños e instan a los distintos organismos públicos a permanecer atentos ante posibles réplicas y nuevas emergencias.

The White House dubbed Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse a scam victim after he publicly complained the Trump administration would not fund or support his junket to the COP30 climate change conference in Belém, Brazil this week.
The Trump administration largely ignored the confab of global climate change leaders; a stark contrast to former President Joe Biden sending Clinton confidant John Podesta to lead a substantial U.S. delegation to COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan in 2024.
«Sadly, Senator Whitehouse has fallen victim to the biggest scam of the century: the Green New Scam,» White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said of Whitehouse, D-R.I.
«The senator can foolishly spend time and money attending this radical ‘climate’ conference, but the Trump administration refuses to waste taxpayer dollars.»

Whitehouse spoke at a press conference on the House side of the Capitol Thursday with the blessing of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.
Whitehouse held up his COP30 badge and lamented that it did not label him a representative of the «United States of America» but instead «Global Legislators Organization for a Balanced Environment: GLOBE.»
That group was co-founded by then-Sen. Al Gore, D-Tenn., and the late Sen. John Heinz III, R-Pa. in the 1990s, and Whitehouse said that without support from Secretary Marco Rubio’s State Department, he relied on a House of Representatives «energy and environment coalition» to facilitate his travel.
FLARING CLIMATE PROTESTS BECOMING MORE CONFRONTATIONAL AS FREE SPEECH TESTED GLOBALLY
Whitehouse said the confab – to which California Gov. Gavin Newsom also traveled – showed a «failure of the United States to be present.»
«For the first time in history that I’m aware of, the State Department refused to support or facilitate my travel or my credentialing. My credentials don’t say United States of America,» he said, adding that it is typically State Department or executive branch protocol to support «CODELs» or congressional delegations.
«[T]he State Department refused to support this – that’s how bad the Trump administration has become.»
PROTECTING AMERICA’S OUTDOORS IS PATRIOTIC — BUT RADICAL ACTIVISM GETS IN THE WAY
Whitehouse said President Donald Trump is ignoring COP30 because he does not effectively represent the U.S. government on climate matters.
«He represents the fossil fuel industry, and specifically his big billionaire fossil fuel donors,» Whitehouse said, before pivoting to his contention at the conference that «carbon pricing» – which critics call «carbon taxes» – is crucial.
«The good things that have come out of COP[30] so far mean that the plane crashes higher up the mountain. But if you want to get the plane over the mountaintop safely, you’ve got to have carbon pricing.»

The Ocean State Democrat said he warned European COP30 attendees to hold firm if Trump attacks their climate commitments.
Jeffries later echoed Whitehouse, saying Trump is showing an unwillingness to address «issues of importance to the American people,» including climate change and affordability.
«The Trump administration and the United States government chose not to be involved and engaged at the most recent conference, essentially ceding leadership on this issue in the world to our rival: the Chinese Communist Party — while leaving America and Americans behind,» Jeffries said.

Meanwhile, Daniel Turner, founder of Power The Future, a Virginia group that focuses on energy policy advocacy geared toward industry effects on workers and rural communities, said Whitehouse was out of line to make such an issue of the matter.
«It was bad enough that while the nation was reeling from the Democrats’ government shutdown, Senator Whitehouse took a tropical vacation and praised the communist Chinese,» Turner said.
Turner appeared to reference a Fox Business segment in which Whitehouse filmed himself at COP30 lamenting his lonely official presence, and saying how large the Chinese official «pavilion» was.
«I will never kiss the boots of the Communist Chinese that use slave and child labor to build crappy wind and solar which drives up the price of American electricity,» Turner said, saying it showed how «out of touch ‘blue-blood, Whites-Only-Country-Club Whitehouse’ is.»

In 2021, Whitehouse refused to apologize for his family’s membership in a Newport, R.I., club that was accused of, but denied, retaining a discriminatory membership policy.
«I think the people who are running the place are still working on that, and I’m sorry it hasn’t happened yet,» Whitehouse said at the time.
Whitehouse further defended his presence at COP30 in a statement this month, saying that Republican «corruption» is deliberately raising costs on American families to the benefit of donors from the fossil fuel industry.
«Amidst sinking approvals and a shellacking in the most recent elections, it’s no surprise the Trump administration is unwilling to defend the fossil fuel industry’s unpopular and corrupt climate denial lies on the global stage,» Whitehouse said.
«In Belém, I hope to rally our allies to stay steady on climate action, including CBAM, in the face of attacks from the fossil fuel villains running the Trump administration. There is no pathway to climate safety without CBAM, and we must protect that pathway at all costs.»
The State Department did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

An Indian fighter jet crashed Friday at the Dubai Air Show in the United Arab Emirates, killing the pilot onboard, officials said.
Videos circulating on social media showed the IAF Tejas aircraft bursting into flames as it struck the ground, drawing gasps from crowds gathered at the event.
«The pilot sustained fatal injuries in the accident,» the Indian Air Force wrote on X, noting that an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the crash. «IAF deeply regrets the loss of life and stands firmly with the bereaved family in this time of grief.»
«A Tejas fighter aircraft from India participating in today’s flying display at the Dubai Airshow has crashed, resulting in the tragic death of the pilot,» added the Dubai Media Office. «Firefighting and emergency teams responded rapidly to the incident and are currently managing the situation on-site.»

An SUV bearing diplomatic plates flying the Indian flag was seen at the crash site, along with police and emergency personnel.
The air show later resumed flight demonstrations, with the Russian Knights aerobatics team flying overhead as emergency crews still worked the crash site, the Associated Press reported.
Tejas is India’s indigenous fighter aircraft, built by state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.

The lightweight, single-engine jet is expected to bolster India’s depleted fighter fleet as China expands its military presence in South Asia, including by strengthening defense ties with India’s rival Pakistan, according to the AP.
In September, India’s Defense Ministry signed a contract with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, or HAL, to procure 97 Tejas jets for the air force. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027.
