NYC Mayor Eric Adams' Approval Rating Plummets Amid Controversies

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo Emerges as Potential Challenger Despite Own Scandals

New York City Mayor Eric Adams' approval rating has dropped to a record low of 28% among registered NYC voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll.
Adams is facing criticism for his handling of the city's budget cuts, migrant crisis, and allegations of sexual assault and illegal campaign donations.
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is seen as a potential political comeback candidate, with 44% of Democrats favoring him over Adams in a hypothetical primary, according to an American Pulse & Research Polling survey.
Adams denies all allegations against him, including the sexual assault claim from 1993 and the FBI investigation into his 2021 mayoral campaign's alleged illegal foreign donations.
Despite his own controversies, including sexual harassment allegations that led to his resignation as governor in 2021, Cuomo has not ruled out a return to politics.
