| Nearly 1/3 of New York voters support Mamdani’s statements on BDS, intifada — poll |
| 2025-07-05 |
| [IsraelTimes] A poll finds that 30% of New York City voters support statements about the anti-Israel boycott movement and the phrase “globalize the intifada” by Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic party nominee for mayor. Mamdani is a longtime supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel. During his campaign for the mayoral primary, he repeatedly refused to condemn and defended the phrase “globalize the intifada.” A survey by the American Pulse polling firm asks New Yorkers about Mamdani’s backing for BDS and his refusal to “condemn the phrase ‘globalize the intifada,’ which some interpret as a call to violence against Jews.” “Does knowing this make you more or less likely to vote for Mamdani?” the survey asks. For all respondents, 30% say they are more likely to vote for Mamdani due to those statements, and 52% are less likely. Among voters aged 18-44, 46% say they are more likely to vote for Mamdani due to his support for BDS and statements on an intifada. Women are more opposed to the rhetoric than men. The survey’s sample size is 568, and its margin of error is 4%.

| #4 I doubt Mamdani will get the Jewish vote. I don't think he's got a snowball's chance to become mayor. But like Chicago, NYC doesn't have a good track record recently for keeping nutjobs out the mayor's office. |

| #3 Mass Deportation Is The Only Issue There is, obviously, no sense in which this guy is American, and he hardly pretends to be. If it’s a nation of blood and birth (which is to say, an actual nation), then he isn’t from here. If it’s a “nation of ideas”, well, he’s a communist. He rejects the ideas. |
