Other data of note:
Mamdani continues to go beastmode with young people, putting up regime numbers with a 73% vote share of the under 29 demographic, and a still commanding 62% of voters between the ages of 30 and 44
Amongst all candidates, a plurality of voters believe Mamdani has best addressed the Israel-Palestinian conflict
I think this is the real reason why this guy sparks an ember of optimism in me. Even if everything else good turns to shit and it probably will, if he wins it’s a blow against vibes-based politics across the board.
