NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) \u2013 Many of these New Yorkers voted for Zohran Mamdani in the 2025 election<\/a>. How do they think he\u2019s doing now?<\/p>\n

An exclusive poll from PIX11 News, Emerson College and The Hill<\/a> asked voters in three congressional districts how they rate Mamdani\u2019s job performance so far.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s notable considering former Comptroller Brad Lander,<\/a> 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\u2019s 23%.<\/p>\n

In the 7th Congressional District, which covers Bushwick, Williamsburg, Long Island City and part of Astoria, the mayor\u2019s approval rating was 77%.<\/p>\n

This district overwhelmingly voted for Mamdani in the mayoral election, and it seems his endorsement is also playing a role in this district\u2019s primary. Mamdani-backed candidate Claire Valdez,<\/a> currently a state Assemblymember, has a slight lead over Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, PIX11\u2019s poll shows.<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s 12th Congressional District, covering Midtown and the Upper East and West Sides, tells a slightly different story. It\u2019s an area that swung toward former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral race, and Mamdani\u2019s approval rating sat around 66%<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
