Do New Yorkers Understand What They Are Voting For?

New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is handsome, charismatic, and a master influencer on social media. He is currently leading the race for the New York mayorship by 22 points. And now he finds himself at the forefront of a significant leftward lurch in the Democratic Party.

A recent Gallup poll shows that 66% of Democratic voters view socialism positively compared to 42% for capitalism, a stunning 24 point differential. Mr. Mamdani belongs to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the socialist organization opposing Democratic moderates.
