A DSCC internal shows something different than this Rasmussen poll:
If the election for U.S. Senate were held today, for whom would you vote -- Alexi Giannoulias, a Democrat, Mark Kirk, a Republican, Michael Labno, a Libertarian, or LeAlan Jones, of the Green Party?
Alexi Giannoulias ............................................................... 41%
Mark Kirk............................................................................. 36%
Michael Labno ......................................................................... 3%
LeAlan Jones .......................................................................... 4%
Undecided ............................................................................ 15%
The poll was of 601 likely voters taken Oct. 13-17 by Anzalone Liszt Research, Inc. with a four percent margin of error. The DSCC did not show me the whole poll, and just passed along the information below.
