ANALYSIS
The release of the Laquan McDonald shooting have placed Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel into crisis
mode. The long delay of the videos release and corresponding Municipal Election overlap have led to a
crisis in confidence of a suspected cover-up with the Mayor. Even after the firing of police
Superintendent McCarthy, over half of the voters still think he should resign. Less than 1 out of 5 voters
approve of Emanuels job performance.

METHODOLOGY

were randomly selected from voters who voted in at least 1 of the last 3 elections.
