Mamdani has an extraordinarily high approval rating, approximately twice as high as the administration's. All of the billionaires are against him, but the people are for him.
Here's why.
Why Mamdani Has Twice the Approval Rating
The Wealthy Own Everything Around Us
The wealthy own everything.
- They own the companies where we work.
- They own the stores where we shop.
- They own the media where we get our news.
As a result, every minute of every day we are saturated with messages from the wealthy. Every atom, every molecule of society is permeated by the opinions of the wealthy.
What Happens When a Leader Ignores Those Messages
So when a politician like Mamdani has the skill and strength to put aside these messages and instead focus on everyday people, their approval ratings are sky high.
This is the dynamic playing out in New York right now. Mamdani is absolutely crushing it as mayor. And while tech stocks hit all-time highs and wealth concentrates at the top, he's choosing to focus on the people who actually live in the city.
The Administration Sold Out
Sadly, the administration has sold out to the wealthy. That's why its approval ratings are so low.
When leaders align with billionaire interests over everyday citizens, the numbers reflect it. People can tell when someone is actually working for them versus working for the donor class.
Focus on People and the Numbers Follow
The lesson here is straightforward. A leader who tunes out the noise from wealthy interests and focuses on everyday people earns their trust. Mamdani's approval rating, double that of the administration, is the proof.
The wealthy saturate our daily experience with their messaging. But people still know the difference between a leader who works for them and one who doesn't.
