Eric Adams was already in hot water — now it seems his goose is cooked
Nearly half of New Yorkers want to leave the city behind, and they blame Mayor Eric Adams. It’s time for the city to look past him… and for him to look past the city.
That’s the message from a leading Democratic Party analyst, as the drama surrounding the mayor reaches a feverish pitch: His political goose was cooked long before he ended up in hot water.
“Adams was already in very serious political trouble weeks ago, before his perceived alliance with Donald Trump dynamited his chances of getting reelected,” says Bradley Honan, CEO and president of Honan Strategy Group, who has also done work for the Teach Coalition affiliated with the Orthodox Union. “The public is in a fearful and anxious period the likes of which we have not seen for a long time. It’s a five-alarm fire.”
Honan’s company polled New Yorkers in early February and found that 80% of the respondents are worried about the current level of crime, while 75% believe their city is in a state of crisis. Nearly half, or 45%, say that if things get any worse, they “may be forced to move out.”
