About 61% of New Yorkers approve of Mayor Eric Adams’ performance three months into office — with more than half in support of his policies on the pandemic, policing and schools, according to a Marist College poll released Monday.

The poll suggests that, despite the multiple crises of COVID, crime and homelessness currently facing the city, Adams remains in a honeymoon period with New Yorkers. But pollsters warn there are signs his support is not particularly deep and could easily crumble: the survey shows that only 47% think Adams is changing the city for the better.
“Almost half the city doesn't have a sense of whether things are going better or worse,” said Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist College for Public Opinion, during a Zoom briefing on Monday afternoon with reporters.
His handling of schools earned Adams a 55% approval rating. But in a potentially ominous sign, his lowest marks came on the issue that got him elected — only 53% of New Yorkers said they approve of his performance on crime. “The warning signs are there with the reality of crime and people are feeling right now not as strong on that issue as they are on others for him,” Miringoff said.
