"oh my gosh, what explains this shift" probably that it was an off year and also that the "shift" is at least half an exit poll mirage

I'm really pleased with this poll and media analysis, full results on our website. (there's a lot more in the toplines that I just didn't get to- maybe more on this soon?)

Now he's got to get things done. Voters support some of his policies, like free childcare and a rent freeze, but they're not entirely convinced they'll actually happen.

And it worked! Voters understood that he was focused on their wallets, and saw him as more in line with their top priorities than national democrats. He dodged the "crowding out" problem that dilutes Democratic focus on pocketbook issues.

In his content, Mamdani stayed very on message- focusing on his core issues of affordability, housing, and transit. He barely mentioned issues like climate change and avoided getting dragged into topics he wasn't running on.
