Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) garnered a miserable 6.6 percent favorability in a poll conducted with hundreds of his city’s residents, the majority of whom voted for Kamala Harris in the last presidential election.
The survey, conducted by Illinois-based firm M3 Strategies on February 20 and 21, found that Johnson is “overwhelmingly unpopular” after receiving responses from 696 randomly-selected Chicagoans.
“79.9 percent of voters disapprove of Johnson, with just 6.6 percent holding a favorable view—a net favorability of -73.3 percent,” the survey’s findings stated.
When asked who they would be “most likely” to lean towards if the mayoral election was held today, just 8.2 percent of respondents selected Johnson, who entered office in 2023 after unseating former Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D).
