More than a quarter of New Yorkers will consider fleeing the Big Apple if Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor, according to a new poll that warns that a socialist-run City Hall “could reshape the city for years to come.”

The shocking new survey, released Friday morning from polling firm Victory Insights, revealed that a “whopping” 26.5% of respondents were thinking about moving in 2026 if the Democratic Socialists of America lawmaker takes the helm.

The poll has Mamdani dominating every combination of match-ups, with his majority seemingly inevitable with healthy leads in each.

In the most likely three-way race, the Queens assemblyman trounces ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo by nearly 20 points, 46.7% to 28.6%, with GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa in a distant third with 16.2% of the vote.

Roughly 8.5% remain undecided, according to the poll.

It also shows that nearly 40% of voters believe that Mamdani would be a threat to New York City’s future.

That includes just under a third of Democrats who believe his mayoralty could pose an issue for the Big Apple.

Gee, Wally, won't that just make more room for America hating mooselimbs?

Gosh, Beav, ya big goof. Of course it will. That's the whole plan. Ain't they teaching you nuthin' in school?

Yeah, I guess you're right. Gee, Wally, you sure are smart.

Remember all those celebrities who vowed to leave the USA if Trump won?

How many actually did it?

This islamist commie will have a direct effect on those who have any money.

[PGalt]

LOL! I was thinking the same.

[central_va]

Every Jew will probably leave over time.

[DIRTYSECRET]

No they won’t.

[central_va]

Why would a Jew stay in a city run by a Communist jihadi?

Cuomo and Sliwa; that’s a problem; I would vote for whichever of the two had the better chance to defeat the Islamic communist Hamas choice.

[mrmeyer]

That’s a good question for the 1/3 of New York City Jews that support this guy

[Fledermaus]

They should vote Sliwa.

Cuomo has already proven he is an ass. He should be the one to drop out. He is polling about the same as Sliwa.

DEI banks and finance companies hardest hit. Turns out they really will sell the rope to hang themselves.

Why would a Jew stay in a country run by the Nazis?

They should vote Sliwa.

I don't like Cuomo but if I lived in New York, easy choice.

Vote for Cuomo.
