Chicago Mayor Lightfoot behind in latest poll for Feb. 28 election

Chicago's extraordinary [not in a good way] Mayor Lori Lightfoot for some reason is trailing former CEO of Chicago Public Schools, Paul Vallas, who leads the other hopeful candidates with 22% compared to 'Pretty Little Miss' Lightfoot with 17.1% in the poll, the Washington Examiner reported Tuesday.

Along with the pair, two others are in double digits: Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson and Rep. Jesus "Chuy" Garcia (D-IL).

In spite of Lightfoot's incredible ineptitude over her responses to crime, immigration and education, the low-information voters have not counted her out and her poll numbers have improved somewhat. It appears Chicagoans who would vote for her have very short memories.

A February 8th poll from the Chicago Sun-Times, Telemundo Chicago, NBC5 Chicago, and WBEZ Public Radio put Mayor Lightfoot in third place, with Garcia in first and Vallas in second. 

On February 14th, Vallas took the lead in a Northwestern University poll with the Lightfoot in third place. Lightfoot is the only black lesbian in the race so that gives her street creds with the Dems, so don't count her out; count her lucky.

The election is set for Feb. 28. A runoff, if necessary, would be held April 4. 

If Lori Lightfoot wins, Chicago will get the representation they deserve, good and hard.
