Adams' numbers have been dragged down by two key issues that his critics to his political left have sought to champion: Restoring funding cuts that Adams said are necessary to offset the cost of the migrant crisis and building, preserving and creating more affordable housing amid a shortage.
The poll found that 83 percent of respondents are either very concerned or somewhat concerned that the budget cuts Adams announced curbing NYPD hiring, library hours and more will impact their daily lives. And when asked to rank the most urgent issue facing New York City today, 25 percent named affordable housing - putting it on equal footing with crime, which Adams, a retired NYPD captain, has aimed to prioritize as mayor.
Adams' disapproval ratings are steepest among Hispanic voters (65 percent) and independents (69 percent). A Marist College poll last month showed Adams with a 37 percent approval rating among New York City voters, way down from 61 percent in the survey in the early stages of his term in March 2022.
