He is VERY unpopular.

This election is too soon for anyone but Toni Preckwinkle to beat him and she isn't running.

She is the Cook County board president and is very popular and no fan of Rahm.
She is doing good work in her current job with the budget cutting she has to do.

She is for some pension reform. But, she is also for early prison release for nonviolent offenders and she is very vocal about the inequality of the justice system in Cook County and the country at large.
