New York City’s Democratic primary voters overwhelmingly believe that Israel is “committing genocide” in Gaza and that the United States should stop arming the Jewish state, according to new polling from a pro-Palestinian group and shared first with Semafor.

Asked if the city should “enforce the arrest warrant” against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani supports, 63% of primary voters said yes.

The mayoral race might play into those numbers. Fifty-seven percent of New York Democrats said they would be “less likely” to support any congressional candidate next year who did not endorse Mamdani for mayor. And 72% favored candidates who would vote to “withhold U.S. weapons to Israel.”
