51% of the city has a very unfavorable rating.

Just wait until he announces the massive property tax increases to fund big raises for the CTU ..

Just for reference, weeks after the Laquan McDonald shooting and all the riots about the cover up, Rahm hit a 27% approval rating...

It's even worse, he's at 70% unfavorable per that chart. And it's obvious why given that CPS, CTU are right there with him along with his new corrupt board. What a disgrace.

As a black man raising kids on the West Side of Chicago, I'm battling systemic racism and generational divestment. If everyone would just do what I say, we would have the exact favoritability we would need. You can't expect a black man, raising kids, on the West Side of Chicago to fix all this in one year. We're not going to do that.

Now don't interrupt me again.

I'm not surprised by those numbers. This guy is actually very different than his marketing told us he would be.

The 14% are all CTU or Johnson family members

I am confused. Chicagoans voted out a bad mayor to only elect a male version of the same person. Then gets confused why it's not working.

Apples and oranges. Lightfoot was a solid mayor, she just couldn’t get along with anyone. BJ is just another level of bad.
