Adams&#8217;s approval rating, meanwhile, is underwater: Just 29 percent of New Yorkers said his performance has been &#8220;excellent&#8221; or &#8220;good,&#8221; while 64 percent said it has been &#8220;fair&#8221; or &#8220;poor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Spectrum News NY1, which commissioned the poll, published the results on the same day that residents in another leftwing city are pushing back against their far-left leaders. Radical San Francisco district attorney Chesa Boudin (D.), whose soft-on-crime policies led to the release of a serial criminal who went on to kill two people, on Tuesday faces a <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/chesa-boudin-on-the-ropes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recall effort<\/a>\u00a0organized by members of his own party, who say he is too extreme even for famously liberal San Francisco. Recent polling <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/people-dont-feel-safe-san-francisco-dem-wants-radical-prosecutor-out\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">indicates<\/a>\u00a0that a majority of San Franciscans want Boudin out.<\/p>\n<p>While Adams said this week that shootings in New York are trending downward, overall crime jumped 28 percent last month, Spectrum News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ny1.com\/nyc\/all-boroughs\/public-safety\/2022\/06\/03\/city-crime-increase-in-may-2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> Friday. Grand larcenies, burglaries, robberies, and gun arrests all rose.<\/p>\n<p>While Adams has said addressing homelessness is a priority, 49 percent of New Yorkers said he&#8217;s doing a poor job on the issue. Forty-five percent said he&#8217;s also doing a poor job on fighting crime.<\/p>\n<p>New Yorkers are similarly unhappy with Democratic state leaders, including Governor Kathy Hochul. A plurality of respondents, 46 percent, said the state is heading in the wrong direction, and a majority, 54 percent, called Hochul&#8217;s performance only &#8220;fair&#8221; or &#8220;poor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The poll respondents are far from the only New Yorkers to show their dissatisfaction with left-wing leadership. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, New Yorkers have fled the Empire State in droves, with many heading to Republican-led states such as Texas and Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Many former Gothamites <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/12\/27\/why-new-yorkers-are-fleeing-to-texas-and-florida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a>\u00a0the <i>New York Post<\/i> they left the state because of leftwing policies such as lockdowns, <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/new-york-city-parents-rise-up-against-toddler-mask-mandate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mask mandates<\/a>, and high taxes.
