The Tribune and WGN keep rolling out their polls and if this latest one is to be taken seriously, Mayor Daley may be in serious troub- oh, who are we kidding? He'd still get reelected by a wide margin if an election were held tomorrow. Still, the approval rating the Mayor got from the 380 registered voters polled by the Trib/WGN was noticeably low: 35 percent. Whether this will have an effect on the 2011 mayoral election remains to be seen as we await the IOC's 2016 Olympics vote, but as the Trib points out, Daley remains "the only game in town."

In spite of the low rating, some people still adore our mayor, as evidenced by this video, via the Trib, of him being serenaded with "Wind Beneath My Wings."
