Midterms Of Endearment
A new poll released in today's Chicago Tribune offers an initial look at the '10 statewide races in IL. The survey, the first in the post-Obama/post-Blagojevich era, shows Gov. Pat Quinn (D) better positioned for election than Sen. Roland Burris (D) in next year's midterms.
A third of RVs (33%) believe Burris should not run in SEN '10, and 37% want him to seek the office to which he was appointed. Another 29% are undec. Looking to Springfield, nearly half (48%) want Quinn to run for Gov., while just 15% do not want him to run; 37% of RVs are undec.
The numbers look similar with respect to public image. About half, 49%, have a favorable view of Quinn, while only a third (34%) have a fav view of Burris. Meanwhile, 6% have an unfavorable view of Quinn, and 18% have an unfav view of Burris.
The Tribune poll, conducted 2/4-5, surveyed 500 IL RVs and has margin of error +/- 4.4%.
