A new poll indicates that Zohran Mamdani's outspoken support for Palestinian rights played a significant role in driving voter turnout during the New York City mayoral primary. While most of Mamdani's supporters were motivated by his economic policies, over sixty percent cited his pro-Palestinian stance as a key reason for their vote, with even higher numbers among first-time voters. The poll also found overwhelming support among his voters for restricting weapons shipments to Israel and for the arrest of Israel's prime minister if he visits New York. Mamdani's victory and the poll results reflect a notable shift in attitudes within the Democratic party, as more leaders and voters express criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza and call for a reevaluation of longstanding alliances.
