But it\u2019s a long way from there to divorce court.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, the Spectrum New NY1\/Siena College poll found that more than seven in 10 New Yorkers fear they\u2019ll become a victim of violent crime, and Adams\u2019 NYPD is finally seeing some success on that front.<\/p>\n<p>The NYPD\u2019s Gun Violence Suppression Division and the patrol force have taken a record amount of guns off the streets. Shootings are down 7% this year as compared to 2021; homicides are down 9% this year.<\/p>\n<p>If Adams can continue those gains and deliver a wider drop in all crime categories (major crimes are up 38%), the voters will start smiling on him again: It\u2019s all about the results, though he\u2019ll also need New Yorkers to see him resolving the homelessness issues that spread a different kind of fear. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/eric-adams-crime-nyc-post-editorial-02.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Eric Adams poll graphic\" class=\"wp-image-22593322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/eric-adams-crime-nyc-post-editorial-02.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/eric-adams-crime-nyc-post-editorial-02.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/eric-adams-crime-nyc-post-editorial-02.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Just 29% of poll respondents said that Adams\u2019 performance was excellent or good.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/eric-adams-crime-nyc-post-editorial-01.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Eric Adams graphic poll\" class=\"wp-image-22593316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/eric-adams-crime-nyc-post-editorial-01.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/eric-adams-crime-nyc-post-editorial-01.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/eric-adams-crime-nyc-post-editorial-01.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Respondents also showed a high level of concern with the city\u2019s crime.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The mayor will help his own cause if he keeps using his bully pulpit to call out state lawmakers, soft-on-crime prosecutors and judges for cutting loose suspected shooters and other recidivists to wreak continued mayhem in the community.<\/p>\n<p>The city\u2019s criminal justice system, he warned the other day, has become such a \u201claughingstock\u201d that the \u201cbad guys no longer take [the law] seriously.\u201d More of that, sir, and don\u2019t hesitate to name Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Gov.
