Media pushes poll by Mamdani adviser claiming Jews support him

Anyone in the media pushing this poll without disclosing that it comes from a Mamdani campaign adviser should never be trusted in the future.

It’s gotten to the point where very time you see another media story headlining a poll about Jews, red flags should be flying. 90% of those polls are fake and being used to manufacture claims about Jewish support for leftist extremism.

Zohran Mamdani holds a wide edge among Jewish voters as he dominates in new NYC mayoral race poll – JTA

Zohran Mamdani Scores 17-Point Lead with Jewish Voters – Newsweek

Zohran dominates in new poll – Politico

To its credit, Politico does what neither the congenitally dishonest JTA nor the clickbaity Newsweek does, which is actually disclose where the poll comes from.

“Our independent poll — the first in this cycle to be offered in four languages and to drill down into national origin and religious denomination — makes one thing clear: Black union households, young Jews, South Asians, East Asians, Latinos, and New Yorkers in every income bracket are all on the same Zohran Mamdani bus, and it’s headed in the direction of the Democratic Party’s future,” said Amit Singh Bagga, the principal of Public Progress Solutions and a veteran of federal, city, and state government.

Bagga’s firm designed and analyzed the poll along with Adam Carlson’s Zenith Research.

It was funded through private donations to Bagga, who advised Mamdani’s campaign during the primary on a variety of city government issues, and was fielded by Verasight.

It’s an “independent poll” from a Mamdani campaign adviser and from a pollster whose leading figure, Adam Carlson, bragged, “Never been more proud to be a Bay Ridge Democrat. We voted for Mamdani by 24 points.”

What is Public Progress Solutions? The website is a placeholder. Bagga is a campaign strategist and failed former candidate. Adam Carlson spends most of his time on Twitter screaming about Israel.

The “poll” provides no real basis for its claims, but it does claim that 21% of Orthodox and Conservative Jews would be voting for Mamdani

Also 1 in 4 political conservatives would be voting for Mamdani.

To put it politely, this poll is a joke. Anyone in the media pushing this poll without disclosing that it comes from a Mamdani campaign adviser should never be trusted in the future.

Ever again.
