Bruce Rauners Approval Numbers Are In Freefall
Source: Chicago Magazine
The Paul Simon Institute at Southern Illinois University is out with its annual Spring poll on the governor, and it’s brutal. At this time last year, Bruce Rauner’s approval rating was 41 percent, with 50 percent disapproval and the rest filling in other/neither/don’t know territory.
Today he’s down to 36 percent approval, with 58 percent disapproval, and a smaller number on the fence; about the best news he can take from it is that Michael Madigan is still less popular (26 percent approval versus 61 percent approval, with more undecideds).
But there’s more bad news in the details. Take party affiliation. Last year, the Institute found that independents were split on Rauner. His support among them has completely cratered since.
That’s a 13 percentage-point drop. And among Republicans, the drop is almost as bad, but it’s not on that tipping point that independent support is.
