Mamdani's support among Jewish voters comes after accusations from opponents and some community leaders that his criticism of Israel represents antisemitism.

The scandal-scared independents running for New York City mayor stand little chance against frontrunner Zohran Mamdani — even if the rivals team up against the socialist candidate, a new poll found.

It turns out that many primary voters were on his side, according to the poll commissioned by IMEU Policy Project, a pro-Palestinian advocacy nonprofit. It found that 78% agree that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, 79% support restricting weapons shipments to Israel and 63% say that Netanyahu should be arrested if he visits New York.
