2025 NYC Mayor poll: Adams leads in primary and GE

NYC seems to like incumbents in the mayoral office, even if they're personally unpopular? So I think Adams is safe.

If there's a defining trait about NYC mayors, it's that they're never popular. It isn't about what the residents think, it is more that there is such a high opportunity cost for going up against a mayor that most would rather sit on the bleachers until the mayor refuses to run again.

It would take a juicy scandal to bring the mayor down I suspect. My impression is that he is mediocre, and sometimes the devil you know is better than someone new. Adams seems to have a pretty solid hold on his black base.

Isn’t a bribery scandal unfolding rn?

small potatoes bundling sh**t right now (it's like $6.4k in strawman donors), and the supreme court has essentially gutted public corruption law so i don't think it'll touch Adams. it's not really in the papers and De Blasio was associated with worse (so far).
