New York voters unhappy with Eric Adams, want him to stand up to Trump, poll finds

NEW YORK — New York City voters are furious with Mayor Eric Adams over his alignment with President Donald Trump on immigration policy, and giving former Gov. Andrew Cuomo an early, commanding lead in the race to replace him, a new poll finds.

The mayor holds a meager 20 percent approval with registered voters in the nation’s largest city — an all-time low, according to Quinnipiac University’s poll released Wednesday.

The Democrat has been fighting corruption charges and resisting calls for his resignation after Trump’s Justice Department ordered a judge to drop his case, seemingly in concert with his help on carrying out the president’s aggressive immigration strategy.

Adams’ attorney has denied the now-resigned acting prosecutor’s accusations of a quid pro quo, but the political damage is inarguable in a Democratic primary, and the latest poll underscores that.
