Poll finds a third of NYC Jews voted for Mamdani, while Cuomo dominated Jewish neighborhoods

A CNN exit poll finds that 33% of New York City Jews voted for the far-left anti-Israel politician Zohran Mamdani in yesterday’s mayoral race.

The survey finds 63% of Jews voted for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, and 3% for Republican Curtis Sliwa.

The poll’s Jewish sample size is around 710 people. The margin of error and methodology are unclear.

New York City does not release data on voter religion or ethnicity, so it’s difficult to measure the Jewish vote with precision.

Granular geographic data is available, though, and shows that Jewish areas heavily favored Cuomo.

The Hasidic enclave in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, formed an island of Cuomo support in a sea of Mamdani voters running through western Queens and Brooklyn.

In Hasidic parts of the neighborhood, up to 90% of residents supported Cuomo, while blocks away, in gentrified areas, close to 90% went to Mamdani.

Jewish areas of Crown Heights and Boro Park, also in Brooklyn, overwhelmingly voted for Cuomo. In one section of Boro Park, he won more than 96% of the vote.

Cuomo appears to have dominated Boro Park and parts of neighboring Midwood more thoroughly than any other area of the city.

Cuomo also won most of the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and parts of the Upper West Side. Both neighborhoods have a large Jewish population, but they are more mixed with non-Jews than Hasidic areas are.
