(Bloomberg) – Chicago is finally found under the problem of crime, with a decade reduced with murders, offers a rare piece of good news to Mayor Brandon Johnson. Voters, however, are not ready to go behind unnecessary leaders.
The first -time mayor has an approval rating of only 26%, in which 58% of the respondents said that they dislike the way they are handling the job, according to a new poll of the Mansuito Institute for the National Opinion Research Center of the University of Chicago and the Urban innovation. The high rejection rating of Johnson cuts all breeds, age, income levels and city areas, showing the pole.
The results also come when police chief Larry Snelling has been made significant progress in reducing crime, repeatedly cited as a top concern for residents and businesses. In the first half of the year, the murders fell to 32%, the lowest in more than a decade. Johnson’s office did not immediately respond to the remarks request.
Johnson, a former union organizer, who surprised the pundits, when he defeated Lori Lightfoot in 2023, fought to gain support for the policies he attended. He failed to implement a so -called “mansion tax” on the sale of prices of $ 1 million or more and to apply a financial transaction tax to get support from Illinois Governor JB Pritzkar.
He has so far been unable to make new discoveries to increase revenue to close the forecast of the more than $ 1 billion budget hole for next year. Even on the south side, where Johnson enjoys his highest approval rating, 51% of the residents are still disliked to deal with their jobs.
His performance is contrary to Pritzkar. The billionaire governor, the successor of Hyatt Hotels Fortune, 64% approval between Chicago dwellers, according to the pole, in which 1,111 inhabitants were interviewed between 23 June and July 9, which was designed as a probability panel, as part of the Chikgospex, designed as the representative of the Chicago domestic population. The poll has a margin of 4.4 percent marks error.
A Democrat, which is widely viewed about the ambitions of the White House, is in 77% of the residents of Pritzkar’s own highest approval ratings that earn $ 100,000 or more years. The survey shows that he scored higher marks from more than 50% of residents, earning less than $ 30,000 per year.
“I find it attractive that we have found two major Democratic politicians, who are seen so inconsistent by Chicago dwellers,” Christopher Berry said, the faculty director of the Mansueto Institute and Associate Director of the Center for Municipal Finance of Chicago.
