Democratic member of the far-left “Squad,” Congressman Jamaal Bowman (NY) shouldn’t be in good condition in his main re-election bid for a 3rd time period.
His ballot numbers are down. WAY down.
Jamaal Bowman Underwater
From the New York Submit: “In a stunning new ballot obtained completely by The Submit Wednesday, Westchester County Govt George Latimer leads Bowman 52% to 35% amongst Democratic main voters within the sixteenth Congressional District, which takes in southern Westchester County and elements of the northeast Bronx.”
That’s 17 factors down. In a main race.
And he’s the incumbent!
It will get worse for Bowman. The Submit provides, “Amongst Democrats who voted in not less than three of the final 4 primaries, Latimer’s lead grows to 21 proportion factors — 56% to 35%, in response to the survey carried out by veteran Democratic pollster Mark Mellman for the pro-Latimer Democratic Majority for Israel. Amongst Democrats who say they know each Latimer and Bowman — 76% of the first citizens– Latimer’s lead expands even additional to 26 factors (60% to 34%).”
The story continues:
A significant drawback for Bowman is that Latimer has a much better picture amongst voters than the incumbent, who has been broken by his self-inflicted actions and rhetoric.
The job efficiency of Latimer, 70, who has held numerous workplaces in Westchester for the reason that late Nineteen Eighties, is seen positively by 68% of Democrats within the district whereas solely 18% view him negatively.
Compared, solely 36% of respondents had a optimistic view of Bowman’s work in Congress whereas 55% have a detrimental view.

His Personal Worst Enemy
For those who recall, Jamaal Bowman pleaded responsible final 12 months to pulling a hearth alarm within the Cannon Home Workplace. He did so throughout a vote to cease a authorities shutdown.
Embarrassing highschool antics may need one thing to do with Bowman’s low numbers.
His place on Israel would possibly contribute to his unpopularity as nicely.
“A resurfaced video from November additionally confirmed the congressman calling Israel an ‘apartheid’ state whereas angrily claiming experiences of rapes and baby murders throughout Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror assault in opposition to Israel have been a ‘lie,” the Submit reported.
We don’t know who will win this main. However a 17-point dip in polls is kind of the impediment for the sitting congressman.
