Eric Adams' troubles pile up, just as he seems to get his post-indictment footing

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Political and government insiders particularly lauded his appointmentof Maria Torres-Springer as first deputy mayor in October as a sign the administration would begin to focus on governing amid the probes and charges.
53% : And both Adams and Trump say that act spurred the DOJ to action.
52% : "Whenever I walked on stage to do a State of the City, or go to a debate, no matter what I did, she would walk in the room, ask everyone to leave, and she would grab my hands and she would pray for me," Adams said.
42% : President Trump stated that.
41% : "I said he's going to be indicted," Trump said Monday during a press briefing at Mar-a-Lago.
31% : A pardon from Trump would almost certainly be a political liability for Adams in a Democratic primary, in which left-of-center voters typically flock to the polls.
28% : In the last general election, Trump lost the city 68-30 -- proving it remains an anti-Trump Democratic stronghold, even as he made significant gains statewide.
26% : The Republican has shown sympathy toward the Democratic mayor, and each insists Biden's Department of Justice is targeting them to seek political retribution.
10% : Adams had steered clear of criticizing Trump -- or stumping for Kamala Harris -- during the campaign.
