The governing philosophy of voters in Democrat-run cities is that the liberal Democrat mayor they have is terrible, so they must replace them with another liberal Democrat. Unsurprisingly, doing the same thing over and over again hasn’t produced different results.

A new M3 Strategies poll puts Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s approval rating at just under 7%. Nearly 80% of Chicago residents disapprove of Johnson’s job performance, which has been defined by his pro-criminal rhetoric, a surge in illegal immigration that he invited with Chicago’s sanctuary status, and his incessant race-baiting. Most recently, Johnson planned to put Chicago on the hook for $830 million in borrowed funds for a spending plan that would allow him to funnel funds to his teacher union buddies in the middle of a negotiation with Chicago Public Schools.
