A mere 28% of New Yorkers think Mayor Eric Adams is doing a good job—the lowest approval rating since residents were first asked to rate their mayor in the 1990s. Are the challenges facing New York City intractable, or is Eric Adams just handling them badly?
 
John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Idrees Kahloon. They’re joined by The Economist’s Rosemarie Ward, and Nicole Gelinas from The Manhattan Institute.
