A NY Post-commissioned poll surfaced Sat May 2 found just <30% of NYC Jewish voters say Mamdani is "doing a good job" at 100 days — a sharp underperformance vs. his ~52% citywide approval. Crosstabs: Orthodox respondents most negative; secular Jewish respondents close to citywide average. Drivers cited in coverage: the Apr 24 buffer-zone veto, the Apr 25 "profound failure" letter from 11 major Jewish orgs, the May 1 Sumud Flotilla "brazen violation" statement, and the JTA "show up for Jews too" criticism cycle. The Forward picked up the poll Mon May 4 in the same news package as Mamdani's Islamophobia interview — packaging the dual narrative of religious-community pressure on the mayor.
