Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo could be in a virtual dead heat with lefty front-runner Zohran Mamdani in the Big Apple mayoral race if Republican Curtis Sliwa drops out, a stunning new poll determined.

With all three remaining in the race, Mamdani would continue to trounce the opposition, taking 43.2% of the vote compared to 28.9% for Cuomo and 19.4% for Sliwa, according to the poll.
