Challenging Reelection Prospects for Adams

Adams' prospects for reelection appear bleak, as recent polls demonstrate his historically low approval ratings amidst widespread public discontent with city conditions. With only 10% support in a Democratic primary compared to Andrew Cuomo's 33%, the situation seems dire, particularly given that many New Yorkers perceive the city to be in crisis and are dissatisfied with Adams' governance. The thought that Adams might switch to run as a Republican is complicated by his prior affiliations and lack of significant Republican support in the city, especially in light of Cuomo's popularity among several of Adams' own base voters. Despite some competent administrators remaining in his team, the overall sentiment suggests a looming uphill battle for Adams, and failing to secure the primary may leave him deemed a political loser, diminishing any chances of Trump offering him a federal position.
