Mayor Adams' Approval Ratings Plummet Amid Federal Investigation and Budget Cuts

Both Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul face declining approval ratings as New York City grapples with a migrant crisis and a federal investigation into Adams' campaign.

Mayor Eric Adams is facing a significant drop in approval ratings, with more than half of New York City residents disapproving of his performance, according to a recent Marist poll.
The federal investigation into potential illegal campaign donations from Turkish nationals is intensifying scrutiny of Adams' campaign practices.
Adams' approval ratings have also been affected by the city's migrant crisis and the resulting budget cuts, including to the New York Police Department.
Despite the ongoing investigation and declining approval ratings, Adams has not been accused of wrongdoing and maintains his innocence.
Governor Kathy Hochul is also facing declining approval ratings, with more than half of New Yorkers believing she is not improving the way things work in Albany.
