Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker | BlueRoomStream

A new poll shows that Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s approval rating has flipped negative for the first time.
The Illinois Policy Institute’s newest Lincoln Poll conducted by M3 Strategies July 15-18 found that 50.2% of likely voters in 2026 view the governor unfavorably and 47.2% view Pritzker favorably.
M3 surveyed 752 individuals and reported a +/- 3.57 percentage point margin of error.
The previous Lincoln Poll in late January showed a slim majority of Illinois voters approving of Pritzker’s job performance.
Illinois Policy Institute Senior Fellow and former Illinois state Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield, said he would have advised Pritzker not to run for a third term.
“Third terms are often called the third-term curse, number one. Number two, running a general election for governor doesn’t match with running in a far-left Democratic primary for president,” Batinick told The Center Square.
Batinick said he predicted months ago that the governor’s poll numbers would drop.
“The stuff that he’s trying to do to go to the far left to be relevant in the Democratic primary for president is costing him with rank-and-file voters here in Illinois. They’re like, ‘You know what? I’ve got a high property tax bill. I don’t care about Texas legislators. I want you back in Illinois doing the things that matter to us.’ When you look at that poll, taxes was the number one issue,” Batinick said.

And Yet some how, he was still voted into office, but this is what happens when you let illegals and dead people vote, it also doesn’t hurt when all of the Illinois electors are democrats and your personal friends. He’s throwing his hat in the ring for a 3rd term, so somehow I just know this POS is going to win. He can’t win it legally but he has plenty of money to throw in their pockets.
He’s disrespectful as well as disgusting. His episode with Colbert should be enough to show what an unethical loser, unfit for governance in any capacity, he is: “We gave it over to a kindergarten class to decide” the Illinois districting map. Well Prickster, sad thing is, a kindergarten class has a better sense of ethics and right from wrong than your entitled ass ever has or will. What an embarrassment he is to our State.
