Its so rare for approval to climb after getting in office... Just proves that actually doing shit is feasible alternative to whatever the establishment has been up to for the best forever.
Who would have thought that doing your job could be so popular?
That's around the same as Trump's disapproval rating.
For anybody that doubts this, I looked it up. Some polls are more in the 55%-60% range, but there are also these:
Reuters/Ipsos (August 21ā24): 65% disapprove and 33% approve.
American Research Group (August 15ā19): 66% disapprove and 30% approve.
I looked into it because I suspected it was more like 35% approve, 50% disapprove, leaving 15% fucking clueless somehow.
I used to follow the Gallup polls for this, because of the long time series and general reputability. But then it turned out they do not have a spine. Since then I always look at the aggregated results at https://www.natesilver.net/... . Every poll has a significant margin of error (depending on sample size) and bias (depending on methodology), so aggregating them is generally a good idea.
Nate Silver is a known POS. I strongly suggest to avoid that. Here is one that lists them all: https://www.realclearpolling.com/latest-polls
G. Elliott Morris used to build 538ās models, and now he does his own. There are Senate and House forecasts there too.
I vaguely remember something like that, thanks for the alternative. Direct link at https://www.realclearpolling.com/...
Realclearpolitics is worse than Nate Silver. Theyāre openly conservative and manipulate their polling average by accepting only GOP internals not dem ones, which means their averages are super biased GOP.
Link?
Ironic, given that even Donald Trump approves of Zohran Mamdani.
Well, he DID like him. For a while.
Trump likes winners. But if they make HIM look like a loser, not so much.
Zohran Mamdani is one of the most popular politicians in the country, atm.
In the world. He is globally popular
Yeah, and Trump is one of most unpopular. People compare the two and Trump looks bad in comparison and he hates that. So he badmouths Zohran now.
Nobody stays in Trumps good books forever. Certainty not if they outshine him.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Niiiiiiiice
How do you disapprove of a guy trying to improve your life? I'm guessing the other 30% are a combination of rich assholes and dumb rednecks who know literally nothing about him?
here's a map from a few weeks ago of Mamdani's approval ratings. All the wealthy areas have red dissapproval ratings. Something I like to note is the red rectangle just off Central Park is Epstein Alley, the area where the richest assholes own property.
New Yorker here to translate.
Manhattan is almsot all green except for a sliver on 5th Avenue near Central Park. That's the priciest area. Most of the rest of the borough is pretty pricey. even Harlem apartments are getting expensive, now that it's being gentrified.
Most of the red areas aren't particularly pricey and certainly aren't considered high class or exclusive.
The bright red area all the way at the bottom left is the South Shore of Staten Island.
I once met a woman who taught Art History at Staten Island College. She told me that many of her students had never made the trip into Manhattan to visit the Metropolitan Museum, one of the top museums in the world.
Look for and listen to the Revisionist History: The Staten Island Problem podcast series. Itās really interesting and even points out how Wu Tang Clan rose from that weird island. Plus it seems to have foretold our current stupid politics to a degree.
Yes, the is an authentic NYC government site and yes, there are actual street signs that say 'Wu Tang District.'
For additional context, itās maybe an hour trip by train feom SI (including a fun ferry ride) and admission is free for Nyāers at The Met. (Natural history museum too!)
Yeah, that's Borough Park, famous for the Orthodox Jewish community doing stuff like diverting public education funds towards private religious schools or having a private bus system that used to require women to sit in the back until an investigation in 2011.
The small red area just northeast is Crown Heights, famous for the hilarious synagogue tunnel story back in 2024. Basically, that area has some very pro-Zionist areas.
It's all the outskirts except for central Manhattan and surprisingly Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which I thought was part of the Commie Corridor. Flushing is expected considering many first generation Asians are conservative (read: racist) and prefer to vote for a white man.
There is an Orthodox Jewish part of williamsburg
Italians Jews Russians and rich people
As an intelligent Redneck I appreciate the modifier of stupid for my dumbfuck kin. Some of us stick to the old ways and wish to watch the corpos burn, but well we are fleeting nowadays. Though funny enough a lot of people outside the Redneck culture don't recognize me as Redneck and peg me for the alternative title of American-Scot due to the fact I don't fit most stereotypes, other Rednecks will look at me for five fucking seconds and proclaim kinship.
Well yeah, redneck is just a word i use to describe people like my uncle who went out at 7am in his tighty-whities with cowboy boots on to feed the horses. Still love the guy, but that shits embarrassing.
Like if it's on his property does he really need pants on? Like the only embarrassing thing I'm hearing is that he wears tightly whities and not boxer briefs.
I mean, I guess not, and they lived 2 miles from the nearest house. It's still a weird thing to do that we tease him about to this day.
So just the other day I learned where the term redneck came from and I think you may want to go read about it because we are all misappropriating a term originally meant for class/labor solidarity with that of white trash that fuck their siblings and have a combined IQ that if it were an age not high enough to vote.
I grew up with white trash rednecks. Lived with them too. I don't care what the original definition is. Language changes, and it isn't being used that way anymore.
About a month ago, a poll showed that about 40% of Dems were aligning with the DemSocs. A couple of weeks ago, a new poll showed it was up to about 60%.
The louder the Corpo-Establishment Dems scream about the DemSocs, the stronger they get.
It's fairly arguable they Streisand Effected Trump into power
It's almost impossible to get over 60% of Americans to agree on anything.
69% approval rating in the US is probably the equivalent of high 80s or low 90s in most of the world.
I'm not so sure. I think 30% of the world is hopelessly uneducated, hedonistic, gullible, and hateful in almost all of the world
You mean 100%
loud agony and gun noises in the background
Soo, i was saying, what's your stance on our lord and savior Kim Jong Un?
All those cops who live on Staten Island would be part of it, presumably
Screaming āhold the neighborhood, boys!ā even as they themselves benefit
Not if they are dinousaurs, damn stegron...
That is the 30% that hasn't personally felt the negative consequences of trump strongly enough to change their minds.
Republican base that only approves of an R next to their name, regardless of literally anything.
I'm a New Yorker, so let me give you my perspective.
Donald Trump fucked over everyone in New York. He called for the lynching of some young Black men, and then refused to admit he was wrong when they were all exonerated. He pissed off the Manhattan elites when he razed a famous landmark after promising to preserve it. He enraged the art world when he built an ugly hotel in SoHo. He personally destroyed a great summer football league. He was seen eating pizza with a knife and fork.
Despite these many insults to the commonwealth, he still got votes.
There will always be a portion of the population that goes fascist during economic decay, the sort of decay that is inevitable with capitalism. They will be throughly propagandized and may never wake up and see the light of reason. A liberal democracy cannot stop a determined fascist movement with capitalist backing with conventional means. They will use and abuse existing political levers to gain total power.
The only thing that will stop them is turning the tables on them via mass resistance of those who have gained class consciousness. They will need to be defeated and suppressed, and barred from having any further political power or platform to spread their toxic ideas.
Probably the same people who downvoted the posts celebrating Dolly Parton yesterday. Some people are just negative.
"Nearly one third of New Yorkers strongly disapprove of the mayors actions."
Said third failed to name any actions
I get a headline in the NYPost every day about how Zohran Mamdani is doing White Genocide
Good heavens! Forcing education on the children, where will it end!!
Hmm so strange how you get high approval ratings when your policies are not against the people.
Hmmm š¤
Except it's only for NYC, for the rest of the state his approval ratings are actually going down. That's common though. Urban liberal areas usually think positively of liberal politicians, but when you add in rural areas, their approval ratings drop dramtically. Basically nothing has changed, even with someone as well liked as Mamdani.
Yes, we all know that he is the mayor of NYC, not the governor of NY. However the mayor of NYC is often seen as wielding as much power as the governor, hence why there are always comparisons, and they are valid when looking at larger approval ratings of policies. If this was some DSA mayor of a small city in the middle of nowhere, there wouldn't even be a news story about it. Hell, there are many very liberal mayors in California, and they are hardly talked about, for the exact same reason.
Ok but why should he care about people who are literally not his constituents. Imo his approval rating with irrelevant people going down is a good sign: it means the mayor of NYC is actually paying attention and caring about NYC for once.
Lulz.
Wow, this place really IS like Reddit!
Nice.
Nice
Socialism is the antidote to capitalism. And he hasnāt even wandered that far into socialist territory yet.
Mamdani in his second term: "Hold my beer."
PROOF that people HATE Mamdani!
-That One Guy in the Comment Sections saying people HATE the DSA!
"Nearly a third of New Yorkers oppose the brutal Mamdani rƩgime"
That wouldn't be a cool rule. To start, polls are subjective, typically trash, and we (society as a whole) generally lack the depth to understand methodologies enough to gauge validity.
And if they were somehow an objective measure, billionaires would then buy every polling agency and just announce that trump is perpetually polling at 125% with vote farms and bot. And the establishment dems would say , "Well, we don't like it, but that is what the poll says, so... But we're really going to watch him close though"
Proof that 30% of Americans are a lost cause.
That 30% is as ignorant and stubborn AF. Theyād literally prefer the country burn before they admit theyāre wrong.
Weren't conservatives literally posting pictures of his trash cleanup initiative saying "shari'a law is here"? Not sure if this is hilarious, depressing, or some strange mix of the two, lol.
Itās just more projection. Theyāre trying to force their shitty evangelical corporate sharia law down our throats.
Exactly, as we're always saying, when it comes to the right, every accusation is a confession. They constantly call people on the left pedos, then they worship the pedo in chief like their god king. They call everything gay, yet every time they have a convention Grindr crashes from overload.
30% of any population
Now that youāve hurt their pride with facts, like how he has a 69% approval rating, theyāll just resort to calls for violence, like āAll socialists should be hunted down and killed, theyāre a threat to our nation!ā Itās the fascist way.
"Struggles with state" is such a weird talking point. He's a mayor, not a state rep.
It's interesting to see the lengths that established media are going to in order to "both sides" this political opinion that is obviously not a 50/50 split.
The headline is, "Mayor Mamdani finds favor in New York City, but struggles with state."
Has any other New York mayor ever had this kind of approval rating? Maybe Giuliano immediately after 9/11 ...
I sincerely doubt that most NYC residents give a rat's ass about what other residents of their state think about the city's mayor.
It's a big talking point. Mayor of NYC is basically seen as wielding equivalent power to the state governor, so it's a popular comparison, and shows that Memdani's politics which work well for a urban liberal city don't scale to state wide policies, which is quite common in the US. The real power and show that Dem politics are changing is if Memdani's approval increases state wide and more DSA members win elections across the US in November. It seems like in very strong Dem districts this is possible, but in toss up, or weaker Dem districts, the centrists Dems are the ones that have been winning primaries.
Yeah, it's a big talking point, but it doesn't make it any less weird. It's not his job or his responsibility, and the biggest problem is like you said - He's SEEN as wielding equivalent power. He's doing a good job as mayor because he's NOT trying to appeal to the rest of the state and is focusing on directly improving the lives of the people in NYC, as it should be.
Otherwise, why stop the polling at the state level? Why not poll all of New England? Why not poll Canada? They're just as close by and have the exact same level of influence over and from him.
shows that Memdaniās politics which work well for a urban liberal city donāt scale to state wide policies
It doesn't show that at all. That's like polling people in Florida about Mamdani and using it to claim that "his policies wouldn't scale well to the country." That's utter nonsense.
Regardless of if he's "seen as" wielding equivalent power to the governor, he factually, objectively, does not have the power to govern NY outside of the city. Therefore, nobody outside of the city is actually experiencing his policies firsthand.
Even then, a good policy can sometimes take time to actually produce results. To actually be able to claim his policies "don't scale well" to the state level, we would first have to see what he would actually propose if he were governing at a state level, and then we would have to evaluate not only whether those policies are popular but whether they produce results. It's complete and utter nonsense, absurdly premature to draw conclusions based off what some random person he's not governing or necessarily trying to win over thinks of him, which is just based on whatever the media they consume says.
LOL, autocorrect is doing a terrible job today.
So are you!
'That's the sound of millions of inbred morons screaming in impotent rage, and were suddenly silenced'
Nice.
If you stand next to someone who sexually assaulted over a dozen women and who killed 15,000 mothers, fathers, grandmothers, and grandfathers in nursing homes, you might understand.
Are you talking about the President?
Andrew Cuomo. Same thing tho
Almost 32 percent of New Yorkers don't support Mandami.
Which is roughly the same amount of pro Nazi members of society....what do you think that Venn diagram looks like?
I would like to take "What is a Circle?" For $800, Alex.
And 21% of Americans don't like apple pie. At some point you have to recognize overwhelming support when you see it.
There was a headline the other day from a major outlet (NYT or WSJ or something) along the lines of "Nearly 40 percent of New Yorkers don't support Democratic Socialism".
I'm mocking the corporate-owned media's flailing attempts to make progressive policies seem unpopular.
Ah, I thought you were doing the "I can't believe that only 60%..." thing. Sorry about that.
Sorry for the downvote, but it made the top two comments at 6 and 9
Nice.
"Nice."
I'm not American and I love president mayor Mamdani
