ERIC ADAMS’ APPROVAL RATING DROPS TO 28% — LOWEST EVER RECORDED FOR A NYC MAYOR:
‘REAL SENSE OF WORRY’

Eric Adams’ approval rating dropped to a meager 28% in a Quinnipiac poll
released Wednesday — which is the lowest ever recorded for a New York City mayor
by the university since they began querying Big Apple voters a quarter century
ago.

The mayor’s anemic support amid a massive migrant crisis and federal campaign
probe is a nine-point drop from the already low 37% he racked up in February and
is three points lower than the poll’s previous low of 31% recorded by former
Mayor Mike Bloomberg in 2003.

The survey of registered NYC voters also found that nearly two-thirds — 58% — of
voters disapproved of Adams’ performance.

“There is a real sense of worry and voters are not happy. There’s no good news
for Mayor Adams in this poll. Not only are voters giving him poor grades on the
job he’s doing at City Hall, their views on his character have dimmed,” said
assistant director Mary Snow of the Quinnipiac College Poll, which first started
polling New York mayor’s approval in 1996.

“As the city faces across the board budget cuts while dealing with a migrant
crisis, headlines about a federal investigation into the mayor’s 2021 campaign
and an accusation of sexual assault leveled against him from 30 years ago are
taking a toll.”

The mayor’s only positive rating came from Black voters, with 48% approving of
the job he’s doing compared to 38% who gave thumbs down.

Only 35% of fellow Democrats overall said he’s doing a good job, while 49%
disapproved.

Adams was underwater with voters on major bread-and-butter issues:

60% disapprove his handling of crime while only 33 percent approve — a troubling
sign entering the mid-term of his mayoralty and making public safety the major
priority in his successful bid for City Hall in 2021

66% disapproved of his handling of the migrant crisis and 72% gave thumbs down
of his of tackling homelessness. 53% disapprove of his handling of public
schools, while 31% approve.

Meanwhile, just 40% said he has strong leadership qualities and 56% said he does
not understand their problems.

Only a third of voters said he is honest and trustworthy, while 54% said he was
not.

Asked about the federal investigation into whether foreign money was funneled
into his mayoral campaign, 52% said Adams did something illegal or unethical,
while 20% said he did not do anything wrong, with the rest undecided.

A Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday revealed Adams’ plummeting approval
ratings.

He has not been accused of a crime and denies wrongdoing.

Voters are split on whether Adams is being truthful in his denial of a sexual
assault accusation made by a woman in a lawsuit who claimed he abused her thirty
years ago.

Adams’ is being dogged by his proposed budget and the migrant crisis, the poll
found.

Eighty-three percent are somewhat or very concerned that the across-the-budget
cuts that would impact police, schools, sanitation and social services will
affect their daily lives.

A rep for Adams ripped the poll.

“Incorrect polls come out every day, but the real numbers cannot be questioned:
crime is down, jobs are up, and we continue to deliver billions of dollars into
the pockets of working people,” said Adams spokesman Fabien Levy.

“There will always be more work to do, but there is no question that this city
is in a better place under Mayor Adams’ leadership.”

Other recent polls by Marist College and others also reported a nose-dive in his
public approval, with one GOP survey claiming that fallen former Gov. Andrew
Cuomo would trounce him by 20 points in a Democratic primary for mayor in 2025.

Quinnipiac surveyed 1,297 New York City registered voters from November 30th
to December 4th.

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus  2.7 percentage points.

Allies of the mayor rallied around Adams following the release of the damning
poll.

“Working people have a true ally in Mayor Eric Adams. From day one, Mayor Adams
and his administration have worked to build a city that works for everyone —
creating good-paying, union jobs, delivering a safer city, and building the
affordable housing working people deserve,” said  Manny Pastreich, Service
Employees International Union  Local 32BJ representing thousands of apartment
building workers. 

Kathryn Wylde, president of the business-backed New York City Partnership said, 
“New Yorkers who are paying attention to what is going on in cities across
America realize how fortunate we are to have Mayor Adams as our leader during
this difficult post Covid era. The city has recovered all of the nearly 1
million jobs lost during the pandemic, we have seen almost 40,000 new businesses
formed across the 5 boroughs in the last two years, and he’s done all this while
handling the nation’s migrant crisis with very little help from the federal
government.”
