NYC voters disagree on Mamdani's tax-the-rich plan

A recent poll reveals that New York City voters are divided on Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani's proposed tax increases on the wealthy and corporations. The proposals aim to fund initiatives like free public transit and affordable housing. The poll showed 48% of voters support raising corporate taxes, while 42% favor higher taxes on the wealthiest residents. However, support for corporate tax hikes dropped when considering potential business flight. Voters also showed mixed opinions on city-run grocery stores and rent freezes. Despite the division on specific tax proposals, the poll indicates widespread agreement that New York City faces an affordability crisis. The survey of 817 likely voters, conducted after Mamdani's primary win, also revealed concerns about inflation and the city's direction.
