Chicago mayor election: Lightfoot's own poll shows her in lead, Garcia falling behind

Mayor Lori Lightfoot's own internal polling shows her leading the Chicago mayor's race and one of her biggest challengers, Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, falling behind.A new poll in the Chicago mayor's race is giving Mayor Lori Lightfoot growing confidence about making it into the next round after the February election.Her own internal polling, conducted January 18 to 22, shows her leading the race with 25%, followed closely by a surging Paul Vallas at 22%.

"So I think I think it's good news to Lori Lightfoot," ABC7 political analyst Laura Washington said. "She can use this poll as a way of bolstering her credibility. Some people were beginning to wonder whether she would even get into the runoff. This sends a different message to voters and to her supporters."

"The mayor says Chicago has become safer and that crime is down," Garcia said. "Does anyone in Chicago believe what she says? That's what I say about the poll."

Ugh.

Lies lol

What?!!! How?!!

She paid for it...CWBChicago erin_hegarty LoriLightfoot MaryAnnAhernNBC MissinRoyko PaulVallas thedailylinechi Ryan_Johnson

Good

Fatzker already picked for you guys. Don't worry.

Lie lie !!!

She must be using the same data that indicates Chicago crime is down.

Her internal polling, conducted by her wife, also says how wonderful and personable she is.

Goddamn, what's with all the black folk running?

Like it matters.

Go Vallas!

My poll says I am winning!!!!

She the right person for the job.

Ha! Her own “internal” polling? So she asked her daughter to circle which mayor she likes the most and gave her nine different photos of herself to choose from.

That not looking good at all.

Anyone that voted for her has real problems. Lol

She must only be polling her staff.

Yea previous mayors were corrupt… blah blah blah…. But the citizens of this city never felt safer, and Michigan Ave wasn’t a ghost town

She polling high school kids again? 😂

They called me and said, 'will you be voting for Lori?' The poll was set up in a way where it didn't name other candidates.

There is NO WAY the city of Chicago agrees with the violence that is happening there right now! Lies! She needs to go!

Interesting that she is leading in her own poll 😆😂😆

Fascinating that a Tweet by a major media outlet (1 hour ago) has only 2 comments .Legacy media is dead. Suicide is the cause.

She needs to get those kindergartners to get on the ball working those precincts.😂😂

Hahaha her own internal polling shows her ahead! What about everywhere else?

Rigged af..no fk way this is real

Rigged af..no fk way this is real

You know why she's leading . Because of women, colored , and endorsement

So

😂😂😂😂

That’s bullshit read the comments nobody wants her.

Guess all those students she recruited have gotten the word out.

Where’s JaymalGreen

Good Lord people, you like living in a crime infested city? WTF

I'm voting for Paul then, if he has the best chance 🤞

There has to be something wrong! This lady cannot be leading!!!

I vote Garry McCarthy

Lets see how this ages

Yea, right!!!!!

That is one dumb city!

How you give away millions in free gas and can't crack the top 3

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

Is there not one person in Chicago willing to turn this city around?

Fake news!

Chicago is F__ked up if they vote Lightfoot back in.

🤮

What makes you lie?

Yeah, sure.

For 5 days lightfoot is in the lead. Best since she was elected.

I can’t believe that ppl would still vote for her

Wow. And this is news.

Y’all could have had AmaraEnyia the last go around. Very disappointed in Chicago

Lmao 🤣 democrat cities are rigged. I don’t know one person that likes Newsom in Cali but he wins easily lol

Her aides just telling her what she wants to hear.

Lol she won't win Vallas Johnson or Garcia will win it

My internal polling shows I'm leading. It's about as valid as Lori's polling. 🤣🤣

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot facing tough re-election campaignWere she to lose, Lori Lightfoot would be the first Chicago mayor in decades to run for reelection and fail. That will be the best thing to happen to the great city of Chicago. She may be the worst Mayor in the country. I was wrong it's not may she is. There should be term limits. It’s all because she won’t do anything about predatory rent increases. You think people want to vote for her when they have to move out of the state? Lol no.

She made history as Chicago mayor. Reelection may be harderLori Lightfoot made history as the first Black woman and first openly gay person to serve as Chicago mayor, sailing to victory four years ago as an outsider who vowed to rid City Hall of corruption and deliver a safer, more equitable city. Can't claim success, when the facts show failure. Follow the science. 😉 And she has failed miserably! Have you seen the shithole that is Chicago? She turned that city into a third world country and you celebrate her?
