Cuomo Top Choice to Replace Adams if Mayor Resigns Amid Investigation

Adams faces dwindling approval ratings and criticism over handling of migrant crisis and budget cuts, but remains defiant

New polls show that if New York City Mayor Eric Adams were to resign amid an ongoing federal investigation into his 2021 campaign, former Governor Andrew Cuomo would be the top choice to replace him.
52% of voters would want Adams to resign if indicted, while 38% believe he should stay in office as the legal process plays out.
Adams' approval rating has dropped to a meager 28%, the lowest ever recorded for a New York City mayor by Quinnipiac University.
Adams faces criticism over his handling of the migrant crisis and unpopular budget cuts to the police, schools, and libraries.
Despite the allegations and low approval ratings, Adams remains defiant, vowing to continue fighting for New Yorkers.
