Cook County Board President Todd Stroger.
A new Tribune/WGN poll shows Cook County Board President Todd Stroger at an all-time low in polling.
Battered for championing Cook County's sales tax increase and for hiring friends and relatives, Board President Todd Stroger heads into the election season with a strikingly low job-approval rating and thin support from voters, a Tribune/WGN poll has found.
Only 1 in 10 Cook County voters approve of the job he is doing, and just as few want to see him re-elected following a first term marked by tax and hiring controversies, the poll found.
The numbers are lower than the 13 percent Gov. Rod Blagojevich had just months before his December arrest on federal corruption charges.
It is interesting the parallels between Todd Stroger and Rod Blagojevich. Both are Democrats and both are disliked intensely in their own party.
And it isn't the issue of taxes. In fact, Stroger raised taxes and Blagojevich actually fought against all tax increases. That isn't it.
They are both done in by their arrogant behavior and arrogant attitudes toward the people of the county and the people of the state. And that is what it is really all about. Chicago City Hall Examiner.
