Republican Bill Brady holds an eight-point lead over Democratic incumbent Pat Quinn in the four-way race for governor of Illinois.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds Brady, a state senator, earning 45% of the vote to Quinns 37%. Democrat-turned-independent Scott Lee Cohen gets six percent (6%) support, and Green Party candidate Rich Whitney has the backing of two percent (2%). Another one percent (1%) favors another candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

These two seperate polls were released today within 2 hrs of each other.
I know which one i trust and it aint the Daily Kos schlock.
Maybe the PPP poll has already factored in the people who aren’t registered.
Maybe the PPP poll has already factored in the people who aren’t registered, but plan to vote.
Democrat ...................................................... 40%
Republican .................................................... 30%
Independent/Other .......................................... 30%
Rassmussen only releases his demographic internals to "Platinum " members (I'm not one) but you can bet the turnout this year will NOT look like the numbers above, which look to me to be far closer to 2006/2008 turnout figures.
or they are already adding in the cemetery district vote.

Well I can’t believe the difference between Chicago and everything else. No wonder Democrats win mostly. When one city has more population than the rest of the state combined it is no wonder that Democrats win....This is astonishing to me (population of Chicago).
I know, its clearly transparent what they are up to.
I smell Dem push polling, they have been doing this for days now, taking races and making them close or putting the Dem ahead.”
Same thing happening in Calif with Whitman & Brown???
Suddenly, Brown has an 8 point lead.
Being attributed to “Hispanics who are supporting Brown”.
Are there that many LEGAL Hispanics voting? Or is there more voting fraud going on in Calif.???
Thanks sunmars.
Chicago (the city where I work) doesn’t have more people than the rest of the state, combined. In 2006, the Census Bureau estimated that Illinois’ population was 12,831,970.
Oh wow. That stupid article made it seem like Chicago overwhelmed the state. Thanks for setting me AND the article straight.
