Mamdani is polling well ahead in New York City’s mayoral election, but who is actually supporting him?
The Quinnipiac poll shows Mamdani doing horribly among Jews. Big surprise.
Cuomo gets 60% of the Jewish vote, Sliwa is at 12%, and Mamdani is at 16%. Yes, some will protest that 16% is too high, but keep in mind that a bunch of the people being described as ‘Jewish’ are leftists with some possible Jewish ancestry. We’re living in a world where AOC at one point claimed to have Jewish ancestry.
84% of Jewish voters are not going to back Mamdani. Despite that some people with the usual agendas will insist that Jews are supporting Mamdani.
Notably though, Mamdani performs poorly with every (or almost every) religious group.
He’s got the backing of only 36% of Protestants and 28% of Catholics. That’s notable in a race where supposedly 48% of black voters are backing ‘fellow African-American’ Zohran Mamdani and 43% of Hispanics support him too.
So who are those black and Hispanic voters? Very few of them are religious.
But there is one group that Mamdani is doing well with. Not Jews or Christians but ‘Others’. Factor in the Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims and near total Muslim support and you could very well end up with 50%.
