David Pratt: Will the new US politics be determined in New York?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : Andrew Cuomo (Image: Getty Images) For now though, Mamdani (pictured) remains the bookies firm favourite and should that prove accurate, America's financial ­capital could soon have its first Muslim and democratic socialist mayor.
58% : A full on deployment of ICE officers in New York could also spur broader unrest, which could in turn inspire the ­president to send in the National Guard.
46% : "Socialism has no place in the economic capital of our country.
42% : Mamdani has vowed to keep New York as a "sanctuary" for immigrants, ­setting the stage for a future ­confrontation with Trump, who has questioned the ­politician's citizenship and threatened to arrest him if he blocks the work of ­Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel.
36% : " But even as an open critic of Israel and its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this has not stopped Mamdani garnering support from many within New York's Jewish community and beyond.
34% : For such people, he represents a ­country that has thrown its doors "wide open to foreigners", who "profess insane ­ socialist" views and hold no allegiance to America.
33% : An outspoken supporter of Israel, ­Ackman has also regularly commented on the mayoral race on his social media account, often focusing on Mamdani's criticism of the Jewish state.
