Eric Adams faces low approval ratings and backlash over budget cuts

According to a recent Quinnipiac poll, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has the lowest approval rating ever recorded, with only 28% of voters approving of his performance. The poll also shows that a staggering 83% of New Yorkers are concerned about the impact of Adams' budget cuts, including reductions in sanitation, library, police, and fire services. Adams has attributed these cuts to the high cost of caring for migrants and has called on the federal government for more assistance, a sentiment that many New Yorkers agree with. However, a recent DC trip made Adams realize that help may not be coming anytime soon, and it will be up to New York City to navigate the challenges. Despite Adams' attempts to shift blame and rally support, the mayor is facing criticisms and questions from various political opponents and voters, especially within his base.
