Last week,we asked readers if they wanted to see the Democratic National Convention return to town, and they delivered a strong preference.
Context: Chicago is one of five cities shortlisted by the Democratic National Committee to host the 2028 DNC.
Chart: Axios Visuals
The results: We were surprised by the overwhelming desire to host again, given the traffic and disruptions that can come with it.
Yes, but: It's clear that the huge majority of respondents stayed away from the 2024 festivities and didn't have to face its hassles.
The intrigue: We asked a third question about what improvements you'd like to see if the DNC returned, and over 80% of you said infrastructure work to roads, public transit and bridges.
What's next: The committee will visit all five cities soon. The convention is scheduled for August 7-10, 2028.
