Tribune poll: Mayor Rahm Emanuel leads challengers but may face runoff
Via The Chicago Tribune
Mayor Rahm Emanuel still has a ways to go to persuade city voters to give him a second term next month and allow him to avoid a politically risky runoff contest in April, according to a new Chicago Tribune poll.
The survey showed the mayor at 42 percent support, shy of the 50 percent-plus-one majority he needs to win re-election outright on Feb. 24. Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia was the closest challenger at 18 percent, with Ald. Bob Fioretti at 10 percent, businessman Willie Wilson at 7 percent and perennial candidate William “Dock” Walls at 2 percent.
