- We know that Mayor Rahm Emanuel isn’t very popular—but is it possible that Chicagoans prefer sitting in traffic to this guy?
I got a tip the other day from a secret source—call him Rocky—in Alderman Bob Fioretti’s mayoral campaign.
According to the poll, voters were asked for their “impressions of some people and institutions in public life.” And the results showed that about 52 percent had an unfavorable opinion of Mayor Emanuel and roughly 44 percent of respondents had a favorable opinion of him.
When presented with these findings, my first question was: Is this some kind of push poll, where the pollster’s trying to brainwash respondents under the guise of soliciting their opinions?
The poll also determined that “younger voters tend to have a more unfavorable opinion of the mayor than older voters over the age of 65.”
Finally, if the mayoral election were between the four entities surveyed in this poll, it would come down to a runoff between FOX News and morning traffic on the Eisenhower.
Okay, what’s it say about Karen Lewis?
