The New York mayoral polls of the last month. Mamdani’s in a very strong position. Say that in addition to his ≈40% he evenly splits the ≈10% undecideds with Cuomo. Cuomo would then need at least 8 out of 10 of all Adams and Sliwa supporters to win. Highly unlikely. Go Zohran.

Best part is that Mamdani isn't listening to pollsters; he's out every day encouraging people to keep door-knocking. Actually campaigning. (I'm too shy, but I'm wearing my Zohran button everywhere to suss out the vampires.)

Keep in mind that the November election is not ranked-choice: Mamdani needs to win only a plurality. ~40% is plenty!

So if you want to live in a place with social programs that help people, you have to be able to afford to live in New York City. We all see the irony here, right?
