The poll, conducted by Siena College in collaboration with the media, reveals that 54% of voters believe that Adams may have engaged in illegal activities, with an additional 41% to 53% of the public believing that Adams should step down.
At the end of last month, Mayor Adams was officially indicted on five federal charges, including bribery, wire fraud, and accepting campaign donations from foreign nationals.
