Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson only has a 28% approval rating, according to an Illinois Policy Institute poll of 800 registered Chicago voters conducted by Echelon Insights.
Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.
Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about the details of Gov. Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.

Who are the 28% that think he is doing a good job? And why are they running loose on our streets?
As if Brandon’s boss Toni Preckwinkle cares what his approval rating is. Hahaha!
Wait ’til Chicagoans get to meet their new mayor, is approval rating may not make the teens…
Isn’t that the same approval rating as Kamala? Hmmmm.
I bet his approval rating is 80% with the folks that actually bothered to vote
Bingo!!!
Surprised by the 28% favorable opinion. Must be compilation of BJ administration appointees and their minions, CTU administrators and woke teachers, marxist college students, and those folks who profit from the ongoing disarray.
Shows they are not the majority. They are only magnified by the corrupt left wing press, which a lot of stupid people believe. If Chicagoans actually bothered to vote in the last mayoral elections, perhaps the outcome would have been different. An interesting thought, what would Vallas do in this current mess!
