No One Likes Conehead
And the polling numbers are reflecting it:
Mayor Brandon Johnson has yet to announce if he'll seek re-election next year, but a new poll reveals he faces a tough road ahead if he does run for another term.
The gold standard poll commissioned by the University of Chicago's Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation delivers an education on how poorly Chicagoans view Johnson, and the uphill climb he faces if he runs for re-election.
The city that delivered him a victory in 2023 is delivering a starkly different message in the final year of his first term.
The poll found just 13.6% of Chicagoans want Johnson to run again, and 58% of Chicagoans say they're not excited by another Johnson campaign.
Johnson's job approval rating dropped to 23%, down from 25% in December.
And that 23% is a combination of "great job" and "okay job" numbers. His "great job" numbers have never climbed much higher than 6%.
The anointed one is burying Conehead in campaign dollar totals:
Mayor Brandon Johnson spent nearly three times as much money as he raised in the second quarter of this year, and has just over $631,309 in the bank just two weeks before mayoral candidates start circulating their nominating petitions.
Johnson already faced a huge fundraising disadvantage, having closed the first quarter of 2026 with $813,125 in campaign cash on hand — compared to $18.3 million for Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias.
Giannoulias, a prolific fundraiser, has continued to widen that gap. In the three-month period ending June 30, he took in about $3.65 million and spent about $106,000, leaving him with about $21.85 million in cash on hand, according to the quarterly fundraising report filed Wednesday.
That gives him a roughly $21 million lead over Johnson.
No word on how many of those millions are from the taxpayer bailout of Broadway Bank, but hey, putting someone who used to run a failed bank in charge of a city that can't balance the books or keep taxpaying citizens and businesses in town....what could go wrong?

Gianoulias would be nuts to run.
Giannoulias : "Hold my beer"
Old Salt says...
Should have given Giannoulias that Senate job instead of, Ms. DEIuckless...
Giannoulias knows how to steal, he won't give a shit about nuttin but the money...
The Cone will land on his cone no matter what happens. He could become the leader of the DSA here. He's got those commie ideas in his head like Zoran Mamdani.
and yet he'll get re elected
The choices to pick from mayoral candidates is like trying to pick from what infectious diseases you would like to get.
Alexi with loads of cash? It seems there was another guy with loads of cash who bought his present position. Now what was his name?!!!!!!!
Conehead is like the electric hand dryer in washrooms. You can hear it going but it never says anything of substance.
The poll question was: Do you support Mayor Johnson or are you a bigoted racist white supremacist?
Maybe the 67% who sat out last time should get off their ass and vote then.
Brandon “pull the race card” Johnson
The bar of competency could not be set any lower by BJ
What a display of bottom feeders jumping in.
Who will the CTU back to finish off the city?
I'm voting for Danielle Carter-Walters! She is for US, not The Machine!
They can poll all they want but it boils down to will they come out and vote,highly doubtful. That equals BJ maybe getting in again if he runs. If he was smart he'd take the cash on hand and go back to teaching D minus students how to milk the system as he has. Lets see if SDG's and the union back him or protect him with a job. Money on she spits him out.
He would be stealing more then this clown in office.
We said that about Lightfoot, and we’ve gone way lower.
Enough with the DEI picks.
My dogs shit has a better chance of becoming mayor than BJ the clown does. Gianoulias is a dork and his I’m gonna fight Trump message is a joke.
I’m voting for Danni C
Same here, let’s get her in!!
I think BJ may have a hard time with the black community because of how much $$ he spent and continues to spend on the illegals.
Don’t forget, Alex is Obama‘s guy. With all the candidates coming in I’m still betting on the dark horse even though I don’t wanna see it Brandon for the win
🤧
I'm voting for Jan Murzyn. He will bring back accountability.
How much is the help the Teachers Union gives is worth? Millions in advocacy outside of cash contributions
Liam Stanton for mayor of Chicago.

Right guy, right time.
Why doesnt Richie Daleys kid run? Third generation legacy at stake.
Giannoulias latest commercial alludes to Trump banning books, does that mean he's a fan of books meant to groom children.
Duckworthless is a joke along with most all other female senators and politicians
Brandon is a cheap drifter. As long as he has a few hundred thousand in his political campaign fund that he can convert to personal use if he does not get reelected he will be happy. Remember he was a failure as a 4th grade math teachers so numbers are not his strong point.
Alexi wouldn't be much of a Secretary of State if he hadn't shown he can peel off bundles of lucre like Paul Powell, Griftin' Geo. Ryan and probably Edgar in his day. That job must glue your fingers up.
I wish he would just go away! He messed things up enough.
Johnson could poll at 0% and the voting machines will still elect him if they decide he's their guy. All significant IL political offices have installed politicians. None of them are elected.
These electronic voting machines were rolled-out with one purpose: to install the desired candidate. They have no other legitimate purpose. It's 100% fraud-driven, always has been. The efficiency argument is pure BS.
Correct! Half of our co-workers out here b*tching moaning about Johnson but didn’t even vote
Woohoo.
" Fire her. It's not the first time she stole from your father, it's just the first time he caught her."
Giannoulious' entire campaign is predicated on "I'll fight Donald Trump" other than that it has no substance.
In my long life in Chicago I’ve never seen a more collective hatred for a mayor than this idiot we have now. I thought lightfoot would be the worst but remarkably people hate Johnson even more. It’s really refreshing to see. Even the black community hates him. He’s so dumb that’s it’s dangerous.
The Secretary of State in Illinois also serves as the official State Librarian. He has been pushing the "inclusive" agenda on local library boards.
wow, I can't wait to hear all the feel-good stories they will come up with when running for mayor,,,which will be all lies
he's still getting some baseball practice in Michigan
richie kid is an -sshole
I'm betting Mrs. Conehead ain't to fond either.
Giannoulias the perfect guy to run the City of Thieves.
NO and NO.
Because he stole our pension money Einstein.
The DSA has been very successful in gaining political traction in America. A few small wins at first, now look at New York. Chicago is on their list. Candidates here are just not as open in their communist beliefs yet. Do not sell this group short. They organize and get out the vote.
Fuck Al the Greek. Lyon stealing bitch. One of Barry n moochelles boys. You remember Barry. Born overseas but lied.
Time to pull the race card Conehead. Conehead say take me to the nut so unit at the horspital. Fillin raggedy.
Conehead such a dumb idiot fool.
Why do everyone hate Conehead? Just because he is an ugly, stupid and racist fool who neither pays his utility bills nor gives his other baby momma money for pampers? Or he monthly checks in to the psyche unit at hospital. Granted. He be all that. Right? Cone say I be such a fool. Deer in the headlights.
I want our current mayor to run for re-election. He need to be overwhelmingly defeated to know just how bad of a job he has done.
Imagine a world without liberals.
You think Duckworth stands out as a joke among other female senators. May I remind you she is in the same bin with Mazie Horono from Hawaii, Pocahontas from the big blue sky, Amy Klobochar from 10,000 Lakes to name a few. They are all goofs and not separated by their pronouns with their male counterparts. Actually, they are dangerous to all Americans, even the stupid ones who voted for them.
BLAH, BLAH, you can make all kinds of reasons why Conehead will not get elected, but if Cue Tip (Preckwinkle) picks him, all the votes will go to him, period. Most of you grew up under the Democrat rule for the past 95 years and experience should tell you there is no commonsense as to who is the next mayor (old man Daley is gone). This useful tool deflects any and all criticism that would go to the actual decision makers. He is a puppet. You can try to assemble a grassroots organization and get the lazy Fuckheads out to vote, but there is an abundance of dead people (check the cemeteries) that still vote Dem. Good luck my friends, don't be surprised at who wins. It's not who votes, it's who counts the votes (Elections 101)
Well. There go Prickwrinkle n Conehead again. 2 fools.
Mr Law Enforcement is a Sickness! and We cant arrest our way out of crime? I want him to run just to see how bad he can lose on a low voter turnout Chicago election. Although, it wouldnt take much voter fraud to swing an election like this. I changed my mind. He had better not run at all.
