"The Zogby Analytics poll released on Oct. 20, commissioned by NYCLASS, a group against the use of horse-drawn carriages in NYC, showed that 78% of city voters support Ryder's Law, a city council bill called Intro. 967 that would wind down and end the controversial industry. Representatives from NYCLASS stated that the poll surveyed 803 likely NYC voters from October 10 to 13 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5%."
"This is the strongest public mandate we've ever seen for Ryder's Law, she said. That's a rare consensus across the political spectrum. More than two-thirds of voters want Speaker Adrienne Adams and the city council to finally move this bill forward. The public couldn't be clearer. New Yorkers want a safer, more humane city for people and horses alike."
"Many people surveyed also showed concerns about rehoming horses safely, preventing crashes, and guaranteeing stable, higher-paying jobs for drivers."
A Zogby Analytics poll commissioned by NYCLASS found 78% of likely New York City voters back Ryder's Law (Intro. 967) to wind down and end the horse-drawn carriage industry. The survey sampled 803 likely voters from October 10 to 13 with a reported margin of error of ±3.5%. Support crosses political lines, with high backing among supporters of Zohran Mamdani (85%), Andrew Cuomo (83%), and Curtis Sliwa (84%). NYCLASS leaders urged Council Speaker Adrienne Adams to advance the bill. Respondents expressed concerns about safely rehoming horses, preventing crashes, and ensuring stable, higher-paying jobs for drivers. A separate Local 100 poll reported different results.
