Minorities, poor NYers say ‘Lift the charter cap’

It’s not just crime and public safety: Democratic lawmakers, and much of the mayoral pack, are badly out of touch with the New Yorkers they claim to care about on education, too.

The Post’s poll (conducted by McLaughlin & Associates) found that more than 60 percent of city Democrats support school choice and lifting the cap that prevents new charter schools from opening. And an astonishing 72 percent of those with household income under $60,000 want the cap lifted, as do a majority of union households. Even a majority of voters (54.5 percent) who support far-left candidate Dianne Morales approve expanding school choice.
