* I've used Change Research in the past for legislative polling. The poll was conducted for a group backed by business and real estate interests called One Future Illinois of alderpersons who have regularly stood in opposition to Mayor Johnson. Click here for more on that. Apparently, the pollster messed up the memo.
Obviously, these numbers are really bad for the mayor (check out his "very unfavorable" numbers), but the CTU doesn't fare well, either.
Also, check out the immigration questions. Whew.
And the city cannot just cut 8-10 percent across the board because much of what it does is required spending (for example, pension payments).
Anyway, I skipped over a few questions, so click here for all the toplines...
* Methodology...
Polling was conducted online from November 18-21, 2024. Using Dynamic Online Sampling to attain a representative sample, Change Research polled 801 2024 general election voters in Chicago. Post-stratification was performed on age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, region, 2020 presidential vote and 2023 Chicago Mayoral runoff vote. You can see a full methodology statement here, which complies with the requirements of AAPOR's Transparency Initiative. Members of the Transparency Initiative disclose all relevant details about our research, with the principle that the public should be able to evaluate and understand research-based findings, in order to instill and restore public confidence in survey results.
..Adding... Crosstabs are here.
If I were a statewide elected whose favorability in that poll was in the high 20s or low 30s I would be very concerned.
ReplyDeleteOnce again the public shows how fun they are -- the city isn't spending enough on services but they don't want to support a tax hike to pay for services.
