Mayor Emanuel's Approval Rating In The Tank ( Chicago gun free zone )
NBC Chicago ^ | Feb 22, 2013 | Edward McClelland

Posted on 02/22/2013 8:16:29 AM PST by george76

Emanuel allies insist that he has done much good for the city but it’s clear from the headlines that the dominant story of his time in office so far is the rising murder rate. The Chicago homicide rate in January was its highest in more than a decade and the Windy City has become a national talking point — and not in a good way — when it comes to violence.

...

A Crain’s/Ipsos poll out Thursday finds that the mayor’s popularity has fallen sharply since voters were last surveyed in September:

Just 2 percent of Chicagoans surveyed said they strongly approve of the mayor's job performance, with 12 percent somewhat approving and 5 percent leaning that way.

2%? LOL. That means that even his immediate family is unsure of his performance. It makes me happy to get good news like this.

--maybe the Rahmnfather should just try explaining the murder rate as "peer-performed post-third trimester abortions" --

--reeeeaaaally "post"--if that was the explanation even THE ONE would probably have voted for it if he was still a state legislator---

Look what’s happened to Chicago and Illinois after years of liberal Democrat leadership. Maybe the folks are starting to figure it out.

Rahm Emanuel is the politician that I fear the most. In my opinion, he is more evil and treacherous than either Bill Clinton or Barack Obama. The Washington Post recently ran a story speculating on the possibility of Emanuel running for the presidency. God help us if he ever wins the White House.

But if an election were held tomorrow and his opponent was a constitutional conservative, he would win in a landslide. You can’t fix stupid!

That's half the problem in Chicago. The other half is: You can't fix corrupt.

Can’t imagine him losing the next election, though.

I read where Cuomo went after this engineering guy who praised him; but wasn’t authorized to give interview. Regardless whether he had authority to do it; this is serious. Red flags all over the place. This is what happens when you are moving toward a dictatorship or whatever. No one is safe. Especially the ones on their side. They have to be made an example of. How’s that for fear? If you continue to let this happen; it will happen.
