Who voted for Mamdani? The New York election in seven charts

"A comfortable victory Mamdani secured more than one million votes 50% of all ballots cast defeating fellow Democrat Andrew Cuomo (41%) by nine points. Cuomo, who was defeated by Mamdani in the party primaries, decided to run later as an independent. The Republican candidate, Curtis Sliwa, without support from either his party or the Trump camp, received 7%. With 97% of the votes counted, the data confirms there were no surprises. Polymarket's prediction market on Tuesday gave Mamdani a 92% chance of winning."

"Polls predicted he would win with 46% of the vote, and he ultimately secured at least 4 percentage points more. Winner in each borough Mamdani won in four of the city's five boroughs. His best result came in Brooklyn considered his stronghold where he took 57% of the vote. In Manhattan and the Bronx, he also secured more than 50% of the ballots. He was unable to prevail in Staten Island, where Cuomo won with 55%."

"Mamdani's rise is one of the most meteoric in recent U.S. politics. Just a year ago, when he announced his bid for mayor, Mamdani was little-known beyond Albany, where he served as a member of the State Assembly. In January, prediction markets gave him only an 8% chance of winning. The left-wing candidate's popularity appears to have driven record turnout."
