Approval has run from 43 to 49 percent and disapproval from 27 to 31 across the citywide polls that published a topline. The most recent ended April 6, 2026. Performance grades and favorability are different questions and are kept apart below.
Each mark sits at the midpoint of the poll's field dates, with a stem down to the negative answer in the same poll, so the length of the stem is the margin. Hover or tap a mark for the poll, who was surveyed and how many. Marks are shaped by question type and should not be read as one trend line.
Newest first. Positive means approve, excellent plus good, or favorable, depending on the question. Grey rows are the New York City column of a statewide poll by Siena or Quinnipiac; the city sample size is not published, so they carry wider error than the citywide polls.

Three questions appear here and they are not interchangeable. Job approval asks whether the respondent approves or disapproves of how the mayor is handling his job. A performance rating asks for a grade of excellent, good, fair or poor; this page counts excellent plus good as positive, and fair is not disapproval. Favorability asks about the person rather than the job and usually runs higher than approval.
Who is asked and how matters too. All adults, registered voters and likely voters answer differently. Suffolk polls by live phone; Marist and Emerson mix phone, text and online panels. Emerson offers a neutral option, which pulls both approve and disapprove down, so the margin between the two is a steadier guide than either number alone.
Included: named pollsters that publish field dates, sample size and question wording. Excluded: campaign or interest-group polls released without crosstabs, and straw polls. Previous mayors' polls are placed by months since inauguration; approve-or-disapprove readings are drawn as circles and excellent-or-good grades as squares.
