Pat Quinn ahead by 3 in poll!

Last edited Sun Sep 14, 2014, 03:06 PM - Edit history (1)

For the first time in a year, Pat Quinn has pulled ahead in a poll against Bruce Rauner.

According to the DGA poll, Quinn is at 43% while Rauner is at 40% and Libertarian candidate Chad Grimm at 5%.

Now that the libertarian has syphoned votes from Rauner, we can help Quinn win!

and will continue until the election. I think my group needs to get out knocking on doors while the weather is still nice. I will see what I can do about it.

Which shocked me this morning, when I read it. Obviously, the 8% undecided makes it much closer probably:

The poll found Quinn at 48 percent support compared with 37 percent for Rauner, with 8 percent undecided. And 5 percent went to little-known Libertarian candidate Chad Grimm — support that likely would have gone to Rauner if Republican forces had been able to knock the Libertarian Party slate off the ballot.

e poll, conducted Sept. 3 through Friday by APC Research Inc., featured interviews on landlines and cellphones with 800 registered voters. It has an error margin of 3.5 percentage points and a confidence level of 95 percent. That means if it were possible to contact every likely voter registered in Illinois, it could be said with 95 percent certainty that the results would differ by no greater or less than 3.5 percent.

Block by block, ward by ward people make sure their friends and family get out on November 4, 2014 to stop Scott Walker on steroids (Bruce Rauner) and keep Quinn in office!
