Voters are "far happier" with Mayor Daniel Lurie than with his predecessor London Breed, according to a new poll commissioned by the San Francisco Chronicle.
Driving the news: 73% of respondents say they "strongly" or "somewhat" approve of Lurie, compared to just 28% who said the same of Breed last July.
People who had recently moved to San Francisco were more supportive of him than longtime residents, and progressives were the least likely to say they approved of his performance.
San Franciscans rated him least favorably on providing enough reasonably-priced housing (36% approved) and shelter to the homeless (44% approved).
The intrigue: Half of voters say Lurie should continue to prioritize local issues, while 29% said he should help take on the Trump administration.
The fine print: The Chronicle surveyed 961 registered voters earlier this month.
53% of respondents were non-Hispanic white, disproportionately higher than the city's demographics (37%).
