Other data of note:
Mamdani continues to go beastmode with young people, putting up regime numbers with a 73% vote share of the under 29 demographic, and a still commanding 62% of voters between the ages of 30 and 44
Amongst all candidates, a plurality of voters believe Mamdani has best addressed the Israel-Palestinian conflict
It’s already too late for them to remove their names from the ballot, as the deadline has passed last week. So they will appear on the ballot regardless. Assuming the polls are right, and you really shouldn’t make that assumption, as Mamdani dramatically overperformed polling by >20% in many cases and 30% in a few other polls in the primary, their names appearing on the ballot alone in combination with their name recognition should be enough to stop them from overtaking Mamdani.
The only way to remove their names from the ballot would be an extremely dramatic process that includes moving out of the state of New York to make their appearance on the ballot literally illegal and then all of them successfully fighting that in court individually and winning before ballots are printed, which will be quite soon.
Thanks for the info
