Majority of New Yorkers Demand Resignation of Mayor Eric Adams Amid Indictment Controversy

A recent Marist poll indicates that a significant two-thirds of New Yorkers believe Mayor Eric Adams should resign following his corruption indictment, with 69% expressing this sentiment. The indictment marks a historic first for the city's mayoral office, prompting widespread scrutiny and discussions about Adams' future and the potential for additional charges. While some Republican figures are attempting to connect the scandal to key House races, Adams' approval rating has plummeted, raising concerns among Democrats about the impact on the upcoming elections. Amid this turmoil, public sentiment is increasingly skeptical of the mayor, with discussions about his previous alliances with big business overshadowed by allegations of bribery and misconduct. Legal proceedings are ongoing, with Adams' defense team challenging the charges and navigating a complex landscape of political implications.
