Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are prepared to bolt from the Big Apple if socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins Tuesday’s mayoral race — potentially setting the stage for the largest population flight in US history, an alarming new poll warned early Monday.
Around 765,000 people of the 8.4 million residents who call New York City home are preparing to leave, with about 9% of New Yorkers sharing that they would “definitely” leave the city if Mamdani is elected the 111th mayor, the Daily Mail reported, citing a survey conducted by J.L. Partners.
If those residents were to leave, it would be equal to the population of Washington, DC, Las Vegas, or Seattle fleeing the city.
Another 25% of New Yorkers — about 2.12 million — said they would “consider” packing up and leaving.
Among high earners, 7% of those making over $250,000 a year said they would definitely flee.

Mamdani will need to build a wall with guard towers, that’s how communism works.
Go north, young man.
They whine and cry, then go vote for the commie, and whine and cry some more. I’m getting lots of schadenfreude out of this.
Some will move, most will stay.
That’ll lower rents.
Correct.
They won’t
No kidding. FLA is full - especially Palm Beach County.
How many people said they would flee the US if Trump was elected vs how many actually left? Same with NYC.
That’s what they said about Chicago, but Chicago actually grew from 2023 to 2024 after years of decline.
Think all the Venezuelans here that left their $hithole. The powerful were happy to see them go. Same thing in NY.
Maybe Mamdani figures he can manage better with less people....or maybe he just isn’t figuring right.
Don’t come to Tennessee. Too many NY and CA-ers hoping to bring New York and California with them. Ya’ll ain’t raht.
“I’m getting lots of schadenfreude out of this.”
Same here.
If all these people vote against him he’ll lkse.
I fled IL in Apr 2013. In 2022 IL forced my employer to withhold income tax for 2014, 2015. There was nothing I could do about it. The last day to appeal was the day they filed with my employer in 2022. My employer didn’t notify me until the next day which was too late to appeal.
This apparently happens to many who fled IL.
Why would anyone choose to live there in the first place?
Just look at London.
