Zohran Mamdani has opened up a dominant 22-point lead in New York City�s four-way mayoral race, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll, even as Jewish voters overwhelmingly oppose the anti-Israel socialist.

The survey of likely voters shows Mamdani with 45% support, far ahead of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo at 23%, Republican Curtis Sliwa at 15%, and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams at 12%. Cuomo and Adams are running as independents.

Mamdani�s base is also the most energized: 91% of his supporters said they were enthusiastic about their candidate, compared with 79% for Sliwa, and 75% each for Cuomo and Adams. �Zohran Mamdani has the wind at his back less than two months until Election Day,� said Quinnipiac assistant director Mary Snow.

Among Jewish voters, Adams leads with 42% support, compared with 21% for Mamdani and 20% for Cuomo. Three-quarters of Jewish voters view Mamdani unfavorably, in sharp contrast to his overall favorable rating of 45% to 36%. Adams, despite widespread citywide disapproval of his mayoralty, maintains majority approval among Jewish voters, 58% to 40%.

The discontent stems in part from Mamdani�s positions on Israel. He has accused the Jewish state of committing �genocide� in Gaza and came under fire for refusing to condemn the slogan �globalize the intifada,� which is an incitement to violence against Jews.

On Wednesday, the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of America released a kol koreh urging Jews to register to vote in the upcoming New York City mayoral election.
