New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is entering his second 100 days with tepid public support, according to a fresh Marist Institute poll released Wednesday.
The survey found that 48% of city residents approve of Mamdani's job performance, while 30% disapprove. Nearly a quarter of respondents remained undecided about the 34-year-old mayor's early tenure.
The approval rating suggests the new administration has secured backing from just under half the city, leaving significant room to build consensus as Mamdani settles into the job. A separate favorability measure showed somewhat stronger numbers, with 55% of New Yorkers viewing him positively.
The poll captures a snapshot of public opinion as Mamdani, who took office this year, approaches a traditional checkpoint in any new mayor's first term. The gap between his approval and unfavorable ratings indicates that many New Yorkers are still forming their opinions about his leadership.
