According to recent polling, New York Squad Rep. Jamaal Bowman is currently 17 points behind Democratic challenger George Latimer in the primary for New York’s 16th Congressional District.

“To put it plainly, Congressman Bowman’s constituents are very unhappy with him but very impressed with County Executive Latimer. The combination of Latimer’s sterling image and voters’ distinctly negative assessments of Bowman may cost the incumbent congressman his seat. Bowman’s constituents are even divided on whether he even cares about them, but the vast majority believe Latimer meets that central test,” DMFI PAC Chairman Mark Mellman said in a statement. “It’s simple: George Latimer is highly regarded, while Jamaal Bowman is widely unpopular.”

From The Daily Caller:

Latimer is a pro-Israel Democratic challenger to the “squad” member, who has been critical of the U.S. ally’s efforts in Gaza following the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack that left roughly 1,200 dead. The county executive led Bowman  52% to 35% for a June 25 matchup, with 13% of Democratic primary voters remaining undecided, according to The Mellman Group/Democratic Majority For Israel (DMFI) PAC survey.

The poll also found a significant discrepancy between how the Democratic primary voters view the contenders’ job performance, as 68% held positive opinions about Latimer’s job performance compared to only 36% who said the same of Bowman’s.

Additionally, 59% of the respondents approve of President Joe Biden’s handling of the war in Gaza, and 62% want the U.S. to support Israel, according to the survey.

“On Israel issues, the data are clear – Congressman Bowman is out of touch with his constituents,” Mellman added. “With a robust campaign, George Latimer is in strong position to unseat the now unpopular Congressman Bowman.”

Bowman’s popularity has also tanked in the wake of a scandal in which he pulled a fire alarm on the Hill before a contentious House vote and then lied about it.
