Governor J.B. Pritzker enjoys a “comfortable lead” over a group of largely unknown Republican primary challengers who have yet to make much of a name for themselves, according to a pollster who touts his firm as the “most accurate polling company in Illinois.” “We released a poll before the 2020 election and before the 2018 election, and we got Pritzker’s election four years ago,” Victory Research pollster Rod McCulloch said. “I think we were 1.2% off.” “We were right on the money on the Fair Tax in 2020, and the Trump vs Biden race, just 1% off,” he said.

COVID-19 vaccines are saving an untold number of lives, but they can’t stop the chaos when a hugely contagious new mutant bursts on the scene, leading people to wonder: Will we need boosters every few months?

Renacci is expected to win the backing of additional county parties with a history of bucking incumbents. “This isn’t a Republican state or a [Democratic] state — it’s a Trump state,” said Renacci campaign spokesman Tom Weyand, highlighting yet another factor behind the challenger’s confidence that he will prevail.
