Completely disingenuous article claiming at first that Mamdani is unpopular outside of NYC followed by stats that show that many Americans don’t even have an opinion on him.
Guess what?! Not many people in Missouri or California are going to give a damn about a local election in another state!
For starters, Mamdani is clearly not popular outside of New York City.
A Siena College poll this week showed statewide New York voters disliked him 37%-28% – and that’s in a left-leaning state.
A recent Yahoo News-YouGov poll, meanwhile, showed a relatively similar verdict among Americans nationwide: 31%-22% negative.
While those aren’t good numbers, they don’t exactly suggest he’s a pariah who could be used effectively as a bogeyman on the national stage – at least yet. In the national survey, 46% didn’t even have an opinion of the Democratic mayoral nominee, underscoring the room that exists for him to define himself — or be defined by others. (Even in New York, 34% of voters didn’t have an opinion about him.)
They definitely do. The liberal leaning, “just give me some stability will ya” bourgeoisie tend to give democrats copious amounts of money. I mean hell, they spent a billion dollars on the 2024 presidential election.
I should have been more specific. They don’t buy them television stations, newspapers etc etc etc. Air america, the closest thing they ever had went belly up because no one listened. And what most conservatives slur as msdnc. Is a solidly right wing Channel. More likely to actually hurt a good candidate and then help.
The money Democrats take in every 4 years, is chump change. Republicans and their allies spend that much or more every year.
