      Except it’s only for NYC, for the rest of the state his approval ratings are actually going down. That’s common though. Urban liberal areas usually think positively of liberal politicians, but when you add in rural areas, their approval ratings drop dramtically. Basically nothing has changed, even with someone as well liked as Mamdani.

          Yes, we all know that he is the mayor of NYC, not the governor of NY. However the mayor of NYC is often seen as wielding as much power as the governor, hence why there are always comparisons, and they are valid when looking at larger approval ratings of policies. If this was some DSA mayor of a small city in the middle of nowhere, there wouldn’t even be a news story about it. Hell, there are many very liberal mayors in California, and they are hardly talked about, for the exact same reason.

            Ok but why should he care about people who are literally not his constituents. Imo his approval rating with irrelevant people going down is a good sign: it means the mayor of NYC is actually paying attention and caring about NYC for once.
