The overwhelming disapproval comes from a survey of nearly 700 likely Chicago voters in a poll conducted between Feb. 20 and 21 by M3 Strategies.
It’s the latest sign of residents’ frustration with Johnson who took office in May of 2023 and whose tenure has been marked by continued violent crime and tensions with aldermen over city finances and the leadership of Chicago Public Schools, among other issues.
Poll results By the numbers: A whopping 79.9% of respondents said they disapprove of Johnson’s record.
Only 6.6% of respondents held a favorable record, which gave him a net favorability rating of -73.3%. About 12% of respondents had a neutral opinion of Johnson.
The findings of the M3 Strategies poll align closely with the findings of a poll conducted last month by the libertarian Illinois Policy Institute.
The M3 Strategies poll also asked residents what they thought was the biggest issue facing Chicago now.
About two-thirds of respondents said the top issue facing the city was crime.
Here are the full findings. Respondents were able to pick their top three issues:
Crime – 67% High taxes – 54% Inflation (cost of goods and services) – 41% Immigration control/border security – 24% More funding for CPS – 20% Racism – 11% Need for school choice (vouchers, charters) – 6% Reproductive freedoms – 4% LGBTQ+ rights 3%
Pollsters also asked respondents to disclose whom they voted for in the 2024 presidential election and how they identified in terms of political ideology.
Nearly 71% of those polled said they voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, and 18% said they voted for Republican President Donald Trump. About 8.5% said they voted for another candidate. .

So? They’ll just vote in another corrupt loser based on skin color and the D after his/her name.
They got rid of Lightfoot, then hired this turd. WAKE up Chicago!
“I feel betrayed by the Democrat! Next time, I will make sure to vote for a different Democrat.”
as the lady said
flip chicago red
Dear Residents of Chicago:
In the last mayoral election, the choices were very clear. Brandon Johnson didn’t lie or double-talk his way into office. He was very clear about what he stood for. And you ate it all up at the voting booth.
And now you’re unhappy with his leadership?
Tough. STFU and deal with it!
Tried woke democrat machine politician for mayor
Tried woke lesbian for mayor
Tried woke BLM dude for mayor
What’s next, Chicago?
They’ve got what they deserved for voting him in. No compassion from me. Bunch of fakers, infantile behavuor.
Chicagoans have gone Nose Blind and can’t smell stinkers
OK, Chicago, get ready to meet your new boss, same as old boss. Keep voting “D” and expecting different results.
When you look at the clown, he looks like a black KKK guy. A real retard.
Or a full blown DEI troll...
They’ll vote in some leftist whose just as bad but hasn’t had the opportunity to piss everyone off yet. And the dead children will continue to pile up.
And like typical lefties they will vote for the bigger commie next time.
I swear I heard that Chicago will pay over 2 Billion interest only payments over 20 years on 800 million.
So then Chicago will still owe 800 million . What will the total cost be . Sure to be over 3 o 4 billion .
How can this make fiscal sense.
They voted for it. And ffs, Chicago has like a 2 percent plus property tax. Its a wonder that over 1 out of 5 voted for Trump, with almost no ads being run. A once proud city has been reduced to a laughing stock. It was once very cool to live or be associated with the city, but now it elicits funny looks when one says they are from there
Yep. so what. Voters don’t count in dem run cities. The vote counters make sure that the “right” people win elections.
Happens in almost all dimrat cities.
You heard correctly.
I have been watching CBS 2 on Sling Freestream and those are exactly the numbers being reported.
“...a survey of nearly 700 likely Chicago voters...”
I hope they remembered to canvass the cemeteries.
I would even venture that if he runs for reelection, they will vote for him.
