New poll shows Rahm Emanuel more despised than Eisenhower traffic

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Mayor Rahm Emanuel is more unpopular among likely Chicago voters than morning traffic that causes commuter headaches on the Eisenhower Expressway, according to a bizarre new poll conducted for his best-known challenger.

The poll, with questions tailor-made to grab headlines, was paid for by Ald. Bob Fioretti (2nd) and conducted Sept. 26-29 by Washington D.C.-based Hamilton Campaigns.

Emanuel’s heavy negatives have been well-documented in recent polls by the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune.

But, Fioretti’s pollster was apparently looking to put a new twist on the issue by testing the mayor’s unfavorable ratings against some high-profile enemies, including the Bears’ archrival Green Bay Packers.
