DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's approval rating underwater as crime remains a top concern

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser‘s approval rating has fallen sharply in her third term as crime remains a concern for residents of the capital city.

A Washington Post-Schar School poll conducted last month shows that 48% of the district’s residents disapprove of her job as mayor, compared to only 46% who approve of her job performance. The last time the survey was conducted, in February 2022, she had a 58% approval rating to 37% disapproval rating.
