Daily Mail Poll: 800,000 May Flee N.Y. if Mamdani Wins
3rd November 2025
Almost 800,000 New Yorkers are planning to flee the city if Democrat candidate Zohran Mamdani wins Tuesday’s mayoral election, according to a poll carried out by J.L. Partners for the Daily Mail.
The survey found that 9% of New Yorkers would “definitely” leave the city, which currently has a population of some 8.5 million.
If those numbers were to depart, it would be equivalent to the entire population of Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, or Seattle fleeing the city.
