Claim: The people in that survey didn't even live in NYC
CONTEXTTHE ANSWER
Partly right. The Honan Strategy Group poll of 2-6 Oct 2026 sampled 1,167 likely voters across New York State, 503 of them Jewish (margin 2.9). Statewide, not the five boroughs; still New Yorkers.
Headline finding: 78% of Jewish likely voters say 7 Oct and its aftermath affected them a lot, vs 32% of non-Jews. Jewish-sounding names were oversampled.
