> The poll, conducted by the Marist Institute for Public Opinion and released on Wednesday morning, found that 48% of residents say they approve of the job Mamdani, 34, is doing, while 30% disapprove and 23% remain unsure.
> The survey also found that 55% of residents view him either very or somewhat favorably, and 56% believe that the city is moving in the right direction. This marks an increase from October 2025, when just 31% of city residents surveyed said they believed the city was on track, the poll states.
He’s +18% on approvals and has almost double the favorables compared to the Democratic Party as a whole.
It’s fucking insane how hard Republicans go to idolize the worst people while Democrats actively fight their own popular talent.

He’s a likable Mayor, sounds good even talking to trump, and he hasn’t really tried to implement anything that is controversial, at least yet.

Love how people use polls as a legitimate source. Do you just ignore the FACT that a small handful of people even vote for polls?

Only reason his approval isn’t higher is because of incessant negative propaganda and smears!
Nearly every New Yorker is better off under his leadership! He posts videos regularly about all the things he’s doing to improve lives.

Yea but that doesn’t account for the millions that fled the city when he won, right MAGA? Right?!?

Mark my words he will end up being MAGA like other Bernie-darlings Sinema and Fetterman among others.

Hes down to earth. Diplomatic, charasmatic and knows how to “politco” or get “snarky” I think it works for NYC and I wish him well on his continued mayorship!

Go figure… actually helping the people of your city pays off
The amount of fear mongering against him is just wild

I want more politicians like this. I’ve had enough of stupid big talks that never delivers real good results. Actions speak louder than words

Not taken into account – some New Yorkers just hate everything, or they were asked while waiting for a delayed subway while rushing somewhere at which point the entire city, from the Mayor down, is a problem.

I know the vibemeter isn’t going to like this, but this seems pretty unremarkable to me.
