Will Hillary and Barack "encourage" Rahm to step down before the 2016 election when Rahm could become a symbol of white racism for Republicans to run against?
The mayor's job approval is down by nearly half from a poll conducted in March 2015, when Emanuel was locked in a runoff election with Cook County Commissioner Jesus "Chuy" Garcia. At that time, 52 percent of voters approved of Emanuel's job performance while 33 percent disapproved. The mayor's previous low job-approval rating was 35 percent in August 2014, as he prepared his re-election bid.
