"A YouGov poll of American adults found that six of Mamdani's main policy proposals enjoy majority support nationwide. The most popular was Mamdani's proposal to raise taxes on millionaires and corporations: 69% of respondents said they support the idea, including 40% of self-identified Republicans. His proposal to provide free childcare for children under five years old is also broadly popular, with 66% of respondents expressing support. So is his proposal to freeze rent for lower-income tenants, with 65% of respondents saying they support the idea."
"Even some of the mayor-elect's more controversial policies earned majority support from respondents. 57% said they support the idea of opening city-run grocery stores, while 56% said they support increasing the minimum wage to $30 by 2030. Permanently eliminating fares for busses ended up being the least popular of the policy proposals polled: just 53% expressed support. The poll included 1,133 adult US citizens and was conducted between November 5 and 8, after the Mamdani's victory."
