      Siena University poll showed that 30% of New York voters like the DSA and 47% don’t have a favorable view of them.

      Meanwhile, 23% are unsure about how they feel about the movement.

      Not quite the numbers the person thought

        Let’s compare “Support” to “somewhat unfavorable” + “unfavorable” + “Clearly Unfavorable” + “Against”. Statistic brought to you by yet another billionaire lol.

      They show a pic of Mamdani and then report on statewide feelings. At a glance, one would think that those in NYC aren’t supportive. Which was the idea they’re pushing.

        You’d think there´d be a deep interest in EXPOSING all the horribly unpopular policies the DSA is proposing… yet, tragically, the article does not even mention a single one. Sad.

        Edit: Most political parties will poll lower than their policies because people are tribal and don´t want to support the “other” team. So you take a poll on a THIRD party and what you have is a statistic that tells you nothing you don´t already know, but is a little propaganda point.
