A new New York Times/Siena College poll finds just 28% of white New Yorkers approve of the Democratic mayor’s performance, and 59% now disapprove, up sharply from the start of his term.
“Nearly half say that the city is a worse place to live under his watch — only 9% say it is better — and 51% say New York is now less safe, even as crime statistics reach historic lows.”
