Hmm so strange how you get high approval ratings when your policies are not against the people.
Hmmm 🤔
Its so rare for approval to climb after getting in office... Just proves that actually doing shit is feasible alternative to whatever the establishment has been up to for the best forever.
Look at that. It's almost like the rest of the planet was right about social protections.
Nice.
Niiiiiiiice
That's around the same as Trump's disapproval rating.
For anybody that doubts this, I looked it up. Some polls are more in the 55%-60% range, but there are also these:
Reuters/Ipsos (August 21–24): 65% disapprove and 33% approve.
American Research Group (August 15–19): 66% disapprove and 30% approve.
I looked into it because I suspected it was more like 35% approve, 50% disapprove, leaving 15% fucking clueless somehow.

NOICE
Nice.
NICE
Niccce.
How do you disapprove of a guy trying to improve your life? I'm guessing the other 30% are a combination of rich assholes and dumb rednecks who know literally nothing about him?
here's a map from a few weeks ago of Mamdani's approval ratings. All the wealthy areas have red dissapproval ratings. Something I like to note is the red rectangle just off Central Park is Epstein Alley, the area where the richest assholes own property.
New Yorker here to translate.
Manhattan is almsot all green except for a sliver on 5th Avenue near Central Park. That's the priciest area. Most of the rest of the borough is pretty pricey. even Harlem apartments are getting expensive, now that it's being gentrified.
Most of the red areas aren't particularly pricey and certainly aren't considered high class or exclusive.
The bright red area all the way at the bottom left is the South Shore of Staten Island.
I once met a woman who taught Art History at Staten Island College. She told me that many of her students had never made the trip into Manhattan to visit the Metropolitan Museum, one of the top museums in the world.
About a month ago, a poll showed that about 40% of Dems were aligning with the DemSocs. A couple of weeks ago, a new poll showed it was up to about 60%.
The louder the Corpo-Establishment Dems scream about the DemSocs, the stronger they get.
PROOF that people HATE Mamdani!
-That One Guy in the Comment Sections saying people HATE the DSA!
"Struggles with state" is such a weird talking point. He's a mayor, not a state rep.
"Nearly one third of New Yorkers strongly disapprove of the mayors actions."
Why the hell is it so low. I've heard nothing but good news
It's almost impossible to get over 60% of Americans to agree on anything.
69% approval rating in the US is probably the equivalent of high 80s or low 90s in most of the world.
Socialism is the antidote to capitalism. And he hasn’t even wandered that far into socialist territory yet.
If he hits 100%, does he automatically become president? I think that would be a cool rule.
