Nearly 70% of New York City residents think Mayor Eric Adams should resign following his historic indictment on federal corruption charges last week, a new NPR/PBS News/Marist Poll out Friday has found.
The survey of 1,073 adult Big Apple residents, contacted by text or online between Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, found that 69% of those reached believe the mayor should step down, with just 30% indicating he should serve out his term until the end of next year. Seventy-one percent of registered Democrats and 59% of Black city residents think Adams should go, the poll found.
