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.
