Majority of NYC Voters Want Adams to Resign

A recent poll from The New York Times and Siena College indicates that 53% of New Yorkers believe Mayor Eric Adams should resign following his indictment on federal bribery and corruption charges. Only 26% of voters approve of his performance as mayor, and in a hypothetical primary, Adams ranks third behind former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Attorney General Letitia James. The poll reveals that 52% of respondents think Adams acted illegally, while 24% believe he was unethical but not illegal. Additionally, support from key demographics, particularly Black and Hispanic voters, has diminished significantly. Despite the pressure, Adams continues to assert his commitment to remain in office and govern effectively. An earlier Marist College poll corroborated these findings, showing even higher resignation demand at 69%.
