Dumb Poll Questions
Sixty-four percent of Chicagoans approve of the job Mayor Rahm Emanuel is doing, 57 percent believe he has improved the city’s business climate, and 78 percent like the way Emanuel handled the NATO summit, a new poll shows.
They clarify later:
The Chicago Police Department’s highly acclaimed performance during the NATO summit also reflected well on the mayor.
Asked how Emanuel handled the summit, 55.5 percent said he did a “great job” and 23.3 percent credited the mayor with doing a “good job.” That’s an overall approval rate of 78.8 percent.
We didn't see much TV during the event, but was Rahm even in town? Nice to see he's bathing in "reflected" glory while he sharpens the long knives.

Rahmbo was persona non grata media wise during the NATO summit.
I'm unsure of the reason, but he was largely unseen. Methinks it was because he was too busy sucking up to world leaders and big money donors.
My guess is that one day he sees himself as being the first 9.5 fingered President.
Hahahah.. the people that think Rahm is doing a good job must be the same people that believe that the taxpayers are not paying for anything for the NATO summit.
Wait until the teacher layoffs, the clinic closures, the healthcare cuts and the pension COLA eliminations kick in. Let's revisit this poll when that happens.
What they don't tell you is who the audience was that they polled? The top one percent? All the business owners with the tax breaks that are hoping to benefit from the party?
The way these people pull numbers out of a hat I don't buy any of it.
Here is an interesting article

And one believes he's. regenerated plague!

This is what you get when an equal or greater percentage of the 'officers' at NATO weren't smart enough to realize that shaking stubs and posing for pictures with 9-Point-5 was merely a photo-op created to bolster his image and justify his continued decimation of the CPD.
Divide and conquer. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Rahm knows all the tricks. And he's loving the fact that he's in control at the present time; the department is heavily populated by easily scared and highly impressionable Hair Gels that are afraid to make waves and seem to enjoy having other people make up their minds for them.
Now go write a few more Parkers and impound a couple more cars. Rahm swears he'll put that revenue into the pension funds...right after he and McViolenceStrategy get a handle on this little gang problem thingy..
Did those polled remember that Rahm brought the NATO mess to Chicago.
Illinois really has the stupidest voters.
how many believe he scammed $18M in 18 months?
First mistake to believe any poll
It's come to this ; unless I read it in SCC or DSLC, I don't believe a fucking thing the Chicago media " reports ".
They have flung so much b.s. that any credibility they once had is GONE.
enough with the "methinks" already...
stand for something or gone down for everything. what they did to bill cozzi they can do to you. remember in november.
Well each of my sgts think that I do about 20% of my job, and since we have 7 sgts, my approval rating is 140%. Where is my raise!!
Who comes up with is shit. What about that site that was referenced here where you could vote on how well Rahm was doing. Last I saw it was terrible.
Lets start a T-shirt contest for the year incorporating Rahm and Chicago being the murder capitol of the nation. With chalkie and a picture of the White house fading quickly in the distance. No potus for you!
The Evil Racoon was very busy schmoozing with the Obama's and other world leaders. He wanted to show he has the management skills to run a big government. 2016 isn't that far away. Clinton/Racoon national Democrat ticket? In the meantime his cops were being pelted with rocks, shit, piss, and anything else that could be tossed at them. Somebody had to get the glory. It was all RACOON.
and police still wont vote in the next election...too busy i guess.
enjoy your reduced benifits, pay and pensions as well as your increased retirement age!
Rahm had a lucky horseshoe up his ass. The protesters were minimal, because those assholes had spread themselves to thin. Oakland, new york, toronto, seattle, they couldnt bus themselves fast enough and their ranks were slowly decimated by LEO in those cities. Thats why he had the smile of someone who just farted on their first date. Thank G-d for the fighting men/women of CPD and their glowing professionalism that showcased the heart of every blue and some white shirt. Sorry, Mccarthys showcase of walking around like a rooster behind the troops did not impress. He knew the blue line was there despite the bs he and the rahm cabal reigns on them. So please remember they were privy to all sources of information, while you holding the line, were not. Yet, your love for the job showed and the protesters went home. Rahm, his media minions, and this politician/superintendent can never take the credit, the world was watching and the CPD made every chicagoan, here and abroad, Proud.
any credit will be taken where any credit is not due, it's the Chicago Way
Yes Rahm did a great job at NATO, I saw him, he was standing next to me in full riot gear getting objects thrown at him and helping me fight and scuffle with the assholes. Sarcasm off!!!
Rahm was one of the nut jobs running around with a scarf over his face. He was "undercover super mayor".
Bet that 64% that approve of this asshole, none of them are police, fire or teachers....must be all the people working in his office and family members...
There was a guy on SWAT who wanted to do a poll on morale. He was beefing about how morale sucks in the unit. He's got like 5 years on. He put a survey in everyones mailbox. Keep in mind there's 60 guys in the unit. 7 returned them back to him and said there morale was low. I am so sick and tired of this sense of entitlement with themes guys on the job. Wwwwaaaaaas. Crying little babies who want everything handed to them. Give me a break with polls and surveys.
The "real police", sleeping on that comfy couch at a certain location ;) , did more work during NATO than Rahm.
Never believe any poll taken in Chicago. Politicians have their greasy hands all over these bullshit polls.

Hey, I feel ya, I was with the State Police squad that was with ya at Mich/Cermak. Funny ya never saw Quinn there but he and Madigan sure thanked us by jammin it up our ass with their bullshit pension reform!!!!!! Fuck all these clowns.....
HOW could business people state Emanuel is 'good for business'?
Maybe for giant corporations, with all the give backs, the enticements, the entitlements, the rebates, the tax breaks... but for the little guy?
The little guy who's had a sign hanging over the sidewalk for twenty years suddenly gets a fine and an order to remove that suddenly 'illegal' sign.
The little guy whose business license fees double without notice. The little guy who becomes liable for the building owner's code violations? The little guy who gets a hearing in front of a very PARTIAL, clouted 'hearing officer' and has to pay a kangaroo court fine and 'hearing costs', which double the fine. The little guy who has to put a security buzzer on the front door of his little neighborhood shop?
The little guys are leaving the city in droves. They are heading for friendlier climates, where parking is reasonably priced and readily available. They want to run their businesses in areas that are safe and visibly policed. They want to operate free of political blackmail and opressive taxation.
Seriously, was this poll conducted using only multi-million dollar, connected, business representatives? Maybe they couldn't FIND any little guys to take part in the poll, since they've all fled Chicago.
Off-topic - What is this b.s. that small businesses are now being forced to pay for the parking meter revenue that was lost during NATOfest? Nice move, Rahm.
Who commissioned the poll? ahh let me guess the rahm controlled media?

Did you notice that nothing has been said about reforming the big fat pensions of the General Assembly? Or of judges who will likely have pension cases come before them. Or of former Chicago Mayors. Or of Chicago Aldermen. Or of CPD Exempt members.
It is just us low life workers who need to have our pensions reformed.
Remember, the entire Illinois General Assembly is up for election this fall.
I didn't see Rahm side by side officers at Nato! These people are idiots!

Speaking of buzzers -- there is something going on regarding roll-up garage doors, of the type used on businesses and especially on apartment or condo buildings with ground-floor garage and living units above, where the driveway goes in across the sidewalk and you enter the garage through a roll-up electric door.
They are suddenly, all over, putting BUZZERS on these doors that go off as they open. It's just starting now.
I don't know if it's city, new federal "safety" meddling, or what, but you can hear some of these things a block away -- let alone in your unit right above? -- EVERY time someone arrives at or leaves the building!
Don't move into a building like this, and don't buy within a block of one.

It's one of those mandated safety 'warning' things. Problem is, just like those back-up beeping sounds on public vehicles, they're catering to the lowest common denominator (in other words, the darned-near-deaf).
Many elevators have the same type of arrival-beep, on each floor (annunciators, I think they're called). It's so the blind know they've arrived.
Wonderful. And the people who live on each floor, particularly near the elevators, have to be punished by the incessant blare of the annoying beep, all day and all night long. (We found a work-around in my building, but I won't elaborate here.)
where are they finding these people who approve of RHAM??
I object to the title of this post.

where are they finding these people who approve of RHAM??
Those people are easy to find, via liberals, yuppies and Democratic loyalists.
