There’s not much good news for New Orleans leadership in a new poll about the city.
More New Orleans residents now disapprove of Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s performance than approve of it. In a survey for the New Orleans Crime Coalition, Cantrell now has just 44% approval with 48% disapproval. That is an 18% drop in approval from a year ago.
The survey also found Police Chief Shaun Ferguson has an approval rate of just 44%.
The results were based on a representative sample of 800 adults 18-years-old and older in the city.
The city council as a body got 47% approval.
DA Jason Williams and the city’s judges have the lowest approval ratings. Barely a third approve of Williams’ performance, while less than a third approve of the judges.
