Amid calls for ousting Democratic congressional leadership because the party caved in the government shutdown fight over healthcare, a YouGov poll released Monday shows the nationwide popularity of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s economic agenda.

Mamdani beat former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in both the June Democratic primary and last week’s general election by campaigning unapologetically as a democratic socialist dedicated to making the nation’s largest city more affordable for working people.

Multiple polls have suggested that Mamdani’s progressive platform offers Democrats across the United States a roadmap for candidates in next year’s midterms and beyond. As NYC’s next mayor began assembling his team and the movement that worked to elect him created a group to keep fighting for his ambitious agenda, YouGov surveyed 1,133 US adults after his victory.
