New York City Mayor Eric Adams won his election on the back of his promise to address crime seriously. Now that it’s clear he is more interested in the celebrity of his office than in doing his job, his poll numbers are circling the drain.

A poll from Quinnipiac University has Adams’s approval rating on crime at just 37%, with his disapproval rating sitting at 54%. In February, Adams enjoyed 49% approval on crime to just 35% disapproval. On the central issue of his campaign, Adams has dropped from +14 to -17 in just under three months. In February, 58% of New York City voters were confident Adams would reduce gun violence in the city. Now, 53% have little to no faith he can do so.
