Lightfoot locked in tight three-way battle in Chicago mayor's race: poll
Lori Lightfoot (D) is locked in a tight three-way battle in the Chicago mayoral race against Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia (D-Ill.) and Paul Vallas, the former CEO of Chicago Public Schools (CPS), according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted for the Chicago Sun-Times, Telemundo Chicago, NBC-5 Chicago and WBEZ Public Radio and managed by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, found that 20 percent of likely Chicago voters support Garcia, 18 percent support Vallas and only 17 percent support Lightfoot.
The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points, effectively tying all three in the race.
The polling also showed that 71 percent of voters believed Chicago was on the “wrong track”; 61 percent disapproved of Lightfoot’s job as the top executive of the city and gave Lightfoot a high unfavorable rating of 54 percent.
The survey also suggests that the other candidates may not be as well known given that Vallas had a favorable rating of 30 percent compared to an unfavorable rating of 20 percent. Garcia had a 33 percent favorable rating compared to 18 percent who viewed him unfavorably.
