As Zohran Mamdani, the 34-year-old mayor of New York City, nears his first 100 days in office, a recent poll by the Marist Institute for Public Opinion reveals that 48% of city residents approve of his performance. The survey, conducted from March 26 to March 31, 2026, shows that 55% of respondents view him favorably, while 30% disapprove and 23% remain unsure. Notably, 56% of residents feel the city is moving in the right direction, a significant increase from 31% in October 2025. The poll indicates that nearly three-quarters of respondents believe Mamdani is working hard and understands the city's challenges. Additionally, 60% believe he is fulfilling his campaign promises. However, his approval rating falls short compared to that of his predecessor, Eric Adams, who had a 61% approval rating at the same stage in 2022. The poll surveyed 1,454 residents and has a margin of error of ±3.3%. Lee M Miringoff, director of the Marist poll, characterized the results as a “good start” but noted that the city is demanding and Mamdani still has to prove himself.
