Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : His campaign was packed with big policies aimed at lowering the cost of living for everyday New Yorkers, from free child care, free buses to a rent freeze for people living in rent-regulated apartments and new affordable housing - much of it funded by raising taxes on the wealthy.
38% : While Mamdani is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, he´s said he´s running on his own distinct platform and does not embrace all of the activist group´s priorities, which have included ending mandatory jail time for certain crimes and cutting police budgets.
31% : Mamdani has accused the Israeli government of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, and has said Israel should exist as "a state with equal rights" for all, rather than a "Jewish state.
28% : A longtime supporter of Palestinian rights, Mamdani continued his unstinting criticism of Israel - long seen as a third rail in New York politics - through his campaign.
27% : But that was before the 34-year-old democratic socialist crashed the national political scene with a stunning upset over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in June´s Democratic primary.
