  "account": "A new CNN poll released on Wednesday has shown a significant split in support between New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Jewish voters in New York state. The findings suggest a sharp decline in traditional Democratic Party support among this particular group. According to the September Siena poll, 64% of Jewish voters in New York view Mamdani unfavorably, while only 33% view him favorably. This stark contrast is evident when compared to the general electorate, where Mamdani maintains a 46% favorable rating and 44% unfavorable rating. Among Jewish voters, the gap is even more pronounced, with Mamdani receiving a net favorability rating of minus 23 percentage points, in stark contrast to his positive eight-point rating among the broader electorate. The analysis, presented by CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten, attributes this divide to Mamdani's stances on Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which he claims are not aligned with the views of many Jewish voters in New York.",
  "summary": "According to a Siena poll conducted in September, 64% of Jewish voters in New York state hold an unfavorable view of Mamdani, compared with just 33% who view him favorably.",
