YouGov has been polling Americans on the subject of Zohran Mamdani , and they seem surprisingly but not overwhelmingly positive about him.

However, they don't seem particularly fond of democratic socialism.

These aren't people who've spent a great deal of time thinking about the race -- 43% said they've heard "a lot" about the results of New York's mayoral contest, while 36% say they've heard "a little" and 20% say they've heard "nothing at all." It's unsurprising that 23% of respondents answer "not sure" to both questions.

But what's fascinating to me is how popular Mamdani's agenda is. Take a look at this chart:

"Raising taxes on corporations and millionaires" is supported by 69% of respondents; only 24% are opposed.

Free childcare gets 66% support; again, opposition is 24%.
