Inside the Online Manipulation Driving NYC’s Mayoral Race

Cyabra’s latest report uncovers the online forces shaping public opinion around the leading candidates in NYC’s mayoral race.

As New York City’s mayoral election heats up, the digital conversation is being shaped by more than campaign messages and candidate debates.

Cyabra’s analysis found that more than 60 percent of posts about the leading candidates carried a negative tone, showing a digital environment dominated by distrust and outrage rather than constructive debate.

The findings show how coordinated online behavior can shift sentiment, amplify division, and distort how voters interpret the election.
