* Sun-Times…
Just under half of Chicago’s registered voters support the Chicago Public Teachers strike in a 500 person poll taken Monday, and nearly three-quarters of those polled say Mayor Rahm Emanuel is doing an average, below average or poor job in handing the labor dispute.
In the live survey done by McKeon & Associates, a Joliet-based opinion polling company, 47 percent support the strike, 39 percent oppose it and 14 percent didn’t know. The poll has a margin of error of 3.8 percent.
Only 6 percent of those surveyed rated Emanuel’s handling of the strike as “excellent.” Another 13 percent said he was doing a “good” job.
I should have some more polling by Thursday morning for subscribers.
