A new Data for Progress poll published Tuesday shows that primary voters for Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani (D-Queens) were mostly excited by the democratic socialist’s plans to lower costs and tax the rich and his support for Palestinian rights.
The poll, published jointly by Data for Progress and the Institute for Middle East Understanding Policy Project, surveyed Mamdani primary voters on what drove them to support the 33-year-old candidate. The candidate delivered former Gov. Andrew Cuomo a crushing defeat against the odds that most polls had predicted.
