Democratic voters in the 10th Congressional District, which includes lower Manhattan, Park Slope and Sunset Park, showed the most support. Some 78.5% of respondents approved of the job Mamdani is doing, while 11.8% disapproved.

It’s notable considering former Comptroller Brad Lander, whom Mamdani endorsed, has a significant early lead in the Democratic primary for this district. Lander is leading with 56.6% to incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman’s 23%.

In the 7th Congressional District, which covers Bushwick, Williamsburg, Long Island City and part of Astoria, the mayor’s approval rating was 77%.

This district overwhelmingly voted for Mamdani in the mayoral election, and it seems his endorsement is also playing a role in this district’s primary. Mamdani-backed candidate Claire Valdez, currently a state Assemblymember, has a slight lead over Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, PIX11’s poll shows.

New York’s 12th Congressional District, covering Midtown and the Upper East and West Sides, tells a slightly different story. It’s an area that swung toward former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral race, and Mamdani’s approval rating sat around 66%.

The approval rating changed significantly by age. In all three districts, voters between 18 and 39 supported Mamdani much more than their older counterparts. In NY-7, Mamdani had a 91% approval rating amongst voters 18-39. His approval rating is relatively similar amongst men and women.
