The news isn't good for Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich.
A new Chicago Tribune poll of 500 likely voters in the state show the second term governor is sitting in the popularity cellar.
In it, just 13 percent of voters (65 out of 500) said they approve of the job Blagojevich is doing while 71 percent (355 of 500) disapprove.
That is the lowest approval rating of an elected official in the 30-year history of the Tribune doing such polls.
According to the Trib's Rick Pearson, the numbers tell the tale of how polarizing Blagojevich has become as a political figure. It also shows the huge problem he would face if he tried for a third term.
A full 65 percent of those asked in Cook County say they don't want the governor to serve another term.
