Chicago’s mayors aren’t doing very well, nor are other Illinois politicians.
Governor Blagojevich was impeached for corruption, and bottomed out at 8% approval rating (recently pardoned by Donald Trump, the ex-Gov).
In 2018, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and former White House Chief of Staff to Pres. Obama, decided not to run for re-election when his approval ratings fell to 18%.
His successor, Mayor Lori Lightfoot started at 48%, but after a series of bungles, mishaps, misteaks, and worse-than-word-salad utterances (including racist comments) departed when her favorability ratings tumbled to 22%.
Her successor, Mayor Brandon Johnson, saw his approval rating tumble to just 28% five months after he took office in Oct. 2023, fell to 14% a year later and is now 7%. Pretty impressive. Why? Crime, high taxes, inflation, immigration. Per usual.

Only Mayor who was worse was Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick whose approval fell to 2%, but only after a series of crimes that led to two separate prison sentences, most recently 28 years (pardoned by Donald Trump).
