Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s approval drops to 14%, unfavorable reaches 80%

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s approval rating is 14%, according to an Illinois Policy Institute poll. Of the 798 registered Chicago voters polled by M3, nearly 80% have an unfavorable view of Johnson, including 65% saying “very unfavorable.”

For reference, the approval rating for U.S. Congress is at 17%. Johnson’s mayoral approval is the lowest in modern Chicago history. Johnson’s low favorability is striking given how early he is into his administration. Low approval ratings are more common when someone is on their way out of office.
