Under water: Mayor Adams’ approval rating plummets to historic depths in new poll

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on December 6, 2023

Mayor Eric Adams’ approval rating has plummeted to just 28%, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll — the lowest job performance numbers of any Big Apple mayor since the institution began quizzing the city’s registered voters nearly 30 years ago.

Approximately 58% of city residents disapprove of the job Adams is doing, while 14% did not offer an opinion. The previous lowest approval rating for a New York City mayor found by Quinnipiac was for former Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2003, when he received 31% approval and 60% disapproval.
