New York City Mayor Eric Adams' approval rating has plummeted to a historic low of 20%, according to a Quinnipiac University poll.
This marks the lowest approval rating for any NYC mayor in nearly 30 years of polling. More than half of voters believe Adams should resign, as he faces criticism over his handling of city issues and his perceived alignment with former President Donald Trump on immigration policy. Meanwhile, former Governor Andrew Cuomo is emerging as a strong contender in the race to replace Adams.
The poll results highlight growing dissatisfaction among New Yorkers with the current administration.
.Here are the top political news stories for today.
Eric Adams completely failed to deliver for working-class New Yorkers, and his rightward shift on immigration and policing has only made things worse. It's no surprise that people want him gone—he's been more focused on power and PR than actually addressing housing, transit, and public safety in a way that helps communities. That said, the idea of Andrew Cuomo making a comeback is just as bad—NYC deserves real progressive leadership, not more corrupt, corporate-friendly politicians.
No surprise here—big government politicians like Adams always overpromise and underdeliver. NYC is drowning in high taxes, crime, and bureaucratic nonsense, and people are finally fed up. The fact that Cuomo is somehow seen as a "better" option just proves how broken the system is. Instead of swapping one failed politician for another, how about cutting taxes, slashing regulations, and letting people actually run their own lives? The real solution isn’t a new mayor—it’s less government interference in the first place.
