Overview
- A Chronicle poll of 961 registered voters from July 9–13 found almost three-quarters approve of Lurie’s performance, compared with just over one-quarter for London Breed at the same point last year.
- Majorities now rate the city’s quality of life as good or excellent and nearly half expect conditions to keep improving after lagging optimism last July.
- Lurie earns high marks for keeping San Francisco clean, revitalizing downtown and enhancing public safety but falls short on homeless shelter capacity, overdose crisis response and housing costs.
- Half of respondents say the mayor should concentrate on local issues rather than joining opposition to President Trump, a stance backed by only 29% of voters.
- Nearly 60% of those surveyed say San Francisco was more fun a decade ago, with just 13% finding it more fun today.
