"Marist found that 48 percent of New Yorkers approved of Mamdani's job performance, while 30 percent disapproved. Fifty-six percent of New Yorkers said things were moving in the right direction."
"Mamdani's favorability rating in the survey was higher, clocking in at 55 percent. Thirty-three percent of respondents said they had a somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable view of the new mayor."
"As Mamdani critics like the New York Post gleefully pointed out, the Marist job-approval numbers are weaker than Eric Adams's at around this point in his first and only term."
"In theory, a lower top-line for Mamdani makes him more vulnerable. Undoubtedly, the young mayor is polarizing."
Zohran Mamdani's approval ratings show a divided public opinion. Marist College reports 48% approval and 30% disapproval, while Emerson College shows a 43-27 split. A majority, 56%, believe the city is moving in the right direction, contrasting with previous mayor Eric Adams's lower optimism ratings. Mamdani's favorability is at 55%, but he faces criticism for lower approval compared to Adams at the same point in his term. Mamdani's identity as the first Muslim and South Asian mayor adds to his polarizing image.
