Mamdani’s base isn’t the working class. It’s college grads.
The Mamdani campaign sells its candidate as a man who is going to fight for the working class by making everything free. But this is a campaign that runs off a young hipster and the Muslim settler population.
The latest poll shows Mamdani winning 40% of the vote and in a divided field, that is enough for him to win.
But who’s actually voting for him?
57% of college graduates would vote for Mamdani. Only 28% of non-college grads would.
Stunning numbers.
Mamdani is at 57% to 41% among college graduates, but at 28% to 65% among non-college grads. He loses the working class resoundingly.
