New Yorkers are expressing a strong desire for accountability from Mayor Eric Adams, who has faced a steep decline in approval ratings, now at 28%, largely due to his perceived failure in managing crime, homelessness, and education. The situation worsened with his indictment on federal corruption charges, shaking public trust. Many view his leadership as poor and unsuitable, believing he prioritizes personal gain and favoritism over effective governance. The city is witnessing a shift in sentiment, suggesting potential upheaval in the political landscape, as residents vocally criticize Adams and his administration's actions.
"Adams's polling was dismal well before he was indicted on federal corruption charges, reflecting deep dissatisfaction in his leadership especially regarding crime, education, and homelessness."
"More than half of New Yorkers felt that Adams had poor leadership qualities and wasn't honest or trustworthy, leading to the lowest approval rating for a mayor since 1996."
