Title: IL-Global Strategy Group (D): Quinn takes the lead
Post by: Tender Branson on September 11, 2014, 09:24:07 AM
43% Quinn (D)
40% Rauner (R)
  5% Grimm (L)

Rauner’s popularity is sinking. Rauner is 13 points better known now (72% familiar) than in June (59%), but his favorability has held steady while his negative ratings have shot up by 13 points (34% fav/26% unfav to 33% fav/39% unfav). Rauner has become an unpalatable choice for the state’s Democrats and an increasingly divisive figure among Independents over the course of the campaign. As he has become better known, Rauner’s negative ratings have increased by 20 points among Democrats (16% fav/43% unfav to 9% fav/63% unfav) and by 13 among Independents (35% fav/21% unfav to 35% fav/34% unfav) with no increase in his positive ratings.

Quinn enjoys the support of 81% of Democrats, matching Republican consolidation behind Rauner (83%). Self-described conservatives are the only ideological segment of the electorate that afford Rauner an advantage in the race, while Quinn leads among moderate voters (40% Quinn/37% Rauner) and by a double-digit margin among non-conservative Independents (42% Quinn/31% Rauner). -- Global Strategy Group

The poll, obtained by Early & Often, was a telephone survey of 605 likely Nov. 2014 Illinois voters. It was conducted Sept. 4-7 and had a margin of error is +/- 4.0 percentage points.

I doubt that Quinn is really leading but Rauner has proven himself to be a terrible candidate.

Is this the point where we question the pollster's abilities ?

Do I get to make this :

I just recently came lurking on this board, and it seems there are very strict codes about the five or six first posts of each poll posted.
