According to the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which runs the Marist Poll, his approval rating in April was 48 per cent. It found 55 per cent of adults thought New York was heading in the right direction.

> More than 70 per cent of respondents said Mamdani was hard-working and 61 per cent believed he was working to represent all New York City residents. He was particularly popular in Brooklyn and Manhattan, but was yet cut through to the residents of Staten Island.
