Eric Adams' Approval Rating Hits Record Low at 28%

New York City Mayor Eric Adams' job approval rating has plummeted to 28 percent, the lowest for any city mayor since 1996, according to a Quinnipiac University poll. Concerns over budget cuts and housing affordability have contributed to his declining popularity, with 83 percent of respondents expressing concern about the impact of the cuts on their daily lives. Adams' disapproval ratings are highest among Hispanic voters and independents. The poll also revealed that affordable housing is seen as an urgent issue on par with crime. Adams' numbers have been further affected by ongoing investigations into allegations of colluding with the Turkish government and a sexual assault allegation from three decades ago, both of which he denies.
