Voters Pissed

  • Battered for championing Cook County's sales tax increase and for hiring friends and relatives, Board President Todd Stroger heads into the election season with a strikingly low job-approval rating and thin support from voters, a Tribune/WGN poll has found.

    Only 1 in 10 Cook County voters approve of the job he is doing, and just as few want to see him re-elected following a first term marked by tax and hiring controversies, the poll found.

    The numbers are lower than the 13 percent Gov. Rod Blagojevich had just months before his December arrest on federal corruption charges.
10% approval? As a reader pointed out, why the hell are his numbers so high? And at this rate, is the party even going to run him for office? An internal challenge is all but certain lest the Board presidency fall into Republican hands.
