CHICAGO (WLS) -- A new poll in the race for Chicago mayor shows frontrunner Paul Vallas widening his lead, but it's looking like voters may not know who else makes the runoff for days after the election - and the potential for recounts could further delay the results.
The poll appears to be good news for Vallas, but perhaps complicated news for his next three closest challengers. If they remain bunched up and there is no clear second place finisher on Election Night, we could see multiple requests for recounts which might not start until two to three weeks after the election.
A new independent poll by M3 Strategies shows Vallas leading the race with 32%, followed by a surging Brandon Johnson at 18%. They are followed by Lori Lightfoot at 13.6%, Jesus "Chuy" Garcia at 11.6%. Willie Wilson has dropped to single digits at 6.4%, while 14% remain undecided.
"Politically, you know, Paul Vallas holds up in the 30s and two or more candidates are still jockeying for second place," said Matt Podgorski, a pollster with M3 Strategies. "He'll have unfettered access to the voters and the donors, and it's a huge advantage."

LOL does not matter in the least, just a different face for the same path of destruction.
RACISM!!!
Is Lightfoot going to lose this?
Whoever it is is gonna inherent an epic mess.
Oh the irony, ballots will show up from trunks of cars during the endless recounts.
Lightfoot came in first in the first round in 2019 with around 18%, while Vallas had around 6%.
It depends on how useful she still is to the Crook County machine that runs Chicago and controls Illinois!
“Is Lightfoot going to lose this?”
If she finishes third (and that’s a big IF, with all the shenanigans), she’s out.
The total lack of ability shown by Lightfoot should doom her candidacy, but it won’t because she is Black , Gay and a woman.
The thought occurs to me that even if you eliminate the Black and Gay part, I see few elected women that show real ability in government. Pelosi was one who ruled with an iron hand but was she really good for the country?
Look at the list of women in politics and tell me who stands out as effective and good for the country?
Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir and Sarah Palin, once upon a time.
Chicago is screwed. Paul Vallas NEVER had a real job in his life. He’s just another lifer government employee piece of excrement.
Do they have that ridiculous ranked-choice system there?
“LOL does not matter in the least, just a different face for the same path of destruction.”
It’s as if you took the words right out of my keyboard :) Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee as far as resurrecting Chicago from its progressive hellhole.
That said, I will miss the silly pictures of Lori Lighthouse. She’s an appropriately weird looking person.
