With violent crime on the rise and showing no signs of a letup, a majority of voters said their family would be better off if they fled New York City, a new survey reveals.
The poll, released Wednesday by Fontas Advisors/Core Decision Analytics, presented voters with this statement: “My family would have a better future if we left New York City permanently.”
The poll found 59% of respondents strongly or somewhat agreed with the statement, while 41% somewhat or strongly disagreed.
That’s a 12 percentage-point jump from voters who were asked the same question a year ago.
Meanwhile, 54% of registered voters said the Big Apple is on the wrong track, while 46 percent said it was heading in the right direction.
