Less than a third of Jewish NYC voters think Mamdani is doing a good job, new poll shows
The survey found 82% of Jewish voters worried about antisemitism, and 84% backed new legislation to protect houses of worship.
- A Mercury Public Affairs poll of 665 Jewish voters released Sunday found 32% approve of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, while 82% expressed concern about rising antisemitism in the city.
- Commissioned by The Jewish Majority, the survey follows the 2025 mayoral election where Mamdani secured 26% of the Jewish vote, reflecting persistent tensions between his administration and the community.
- Respondents cited specific grievances: 61% agreed his refusal to condemn "globalize the Intifada" emboldened pro-Hamas protesters, and 84% supported new legislation establishing safe perimeters around houses of worship.
- Despite stating he is "deeply committed to protecting Jewish New Yorkers," Mamdani's veto last month of a school protest buffer bill continues to alienate many Jewish voters.
- The poll suggests potential political strain as Mamdani faces pressure to address persistent unease while maintaining his progressive coalition and balancing public safety with constitutional rights.

Andrew Cuomo, his first major rally at Brooklyn Steel leaned heavily into his South Asian background. Without mentioning it by name (perhaps a hard-won lesson from Kamala Harris’ freshly failed presidential campaign), Mamdani’s South Asian identity boomed from the pre-show music on the loudspeakers, b…
