If I lived in Los Angeles, nothing would keep me from this. Not inertia or traffic or a cloud of locusts. NOTHING.

What makes you think this poll is unreliable? It was created and conducted with input from CNN, AP, the three major networks, and Fox, and sampled almost 5000 voters.
No, I live on the UWS--which went for Mamdani overall--but in a neighborhood within it that went hard for Cuomo; it has been painful to see misinformation and suspicion spread like a virus here over the last few months.
For non-Jews/non-NYers: It's crucial to understand that Jews in NYC have always been treated as a uniform political bloc, and Jews who oppose Israel's policy toward Palestinians have always been treated as marginal/dismissable. A public breaking-off of 1/3 of NY Jews from that history is monumental.

The survey question should be "What do you do when the Lubavitchers come up to you on Sukkot and ask 'Are you Jewish?'"
- say no
- say no and later feel guilty
- say yes and shake the lulav
- say yes and keep walking briskly
Do not get me started on the complete strangers who take it upon themselves to "Well, actually" someone's religious identity.
I'm a 4 with latent 2 tendencies. Although when I'm feeling rebellious I go with, "Are YOU Jewish?"
I'm getting a lot of pushback along the lines of "How dare they not break down 'Other' by religion!" but none whatsoever complaining that LGBTQ+ is an umbrella category. (Both represented 14% of the electorate.)
I guess you'd be wherever you decided to put yourself! (I am a secular cultural Jew whose mother was Catholic, and my heart goes out to the pollsters who probably got an exhausting earful of our life stories when they asked this question.)
This is a CNN exit poll of 4700 voters. Also notable: No gender gap whatsoever; a huge education gap; and a robust LGBTQ+ turnout--we were 14% of the electorate and broke for Mamdani 82-15, which was, obviously, enough to break the 46-46 tie among straight voters.

This is a stunning political realignment--Mamdani lost Jews, Catholics, and Protestants but won by sweeping "Other" and "None."
As a Jewish voter in the 33% I hope my neighbors (literally) in the 63%, who were flooded with dishonest mailers, social media, and texts, will now keep an open mind.
If any of you doubted that Mamdani would, if he won, become an instantly national figure, I urge you to seek out and watch his speech in full. It is a barn-burner, with a big piece of it aimed right at Trump and another big piece pretty clearly aimed at the Democratic Party establishment.
Mamdani reiterates his support for trans folks, his determination to fight "the scourge of antisemitism," and his pledge to fight Islamophobia--and throws a punch at the billionaire-funded campaign of lies against him. "In a time of political darkness, New York will be the light." This is a SPEECH.
"I wish Andrew Cuomo the best in private life, but let tonight be the last time I utter his name." --Mamdani's victory speech is already rocking!
In case any of you thought Andrew Cuomo was going to be gracious in defeat, congratulations on never having heard of Andrew Cuomo.
Uh-huh.
I know it's so alien for some of you to feel good on an election night. Savor every second. We don't get a lot of these.
This account will be equal parts hopeful and gloating for the rest of the evening. To that end: Pour one out for the pile of NYC billionaire money that was utterly incinerated tonight!
