This is IL, it was never going to be a blow-out.

I mean 41% is still a terrible spot for an incumbent 6 weeks out... but

I think what happens in polling from mid-October onwards, once the Chicago machine gets going will be telling.

But I'm starting to think Quinn will pull this out.

I think the point you are missing is that they're polls have been overly favorable to Republicans, so it's possible that Rauner is actually trailing.

If a firm that favors Republicans moves 8 points in the other direction, and the trend lines up with other polls, then that says a lot about the race. Like in my state, Brown isn't running a toss-up race yet because every poll that said he's close/leading is junky, but the momentum is clearly trending towards him.

Quinn's problem remains that 41% figure for support. Except for the Trib poll, he hasn't been above 43%, even in Dem polls. That means he needs a strong break of the undecided towards him in the last 6 six weeks, probably at least a two to one break, to overcome the deficit.

His other problem is the 6% showing for the Libertarian Grimm. Grimm isn't advertising, so there's a good chance that much of the support is a protest vote. Historically the third party candidates overpoll compared to their results in the election. Since Grimm isn't advertising, it's hard to see him holding that full 6%. Also third party polling is usually anti-incumbent, and that was true in the Gov's race four years ago, so if that vote slips off of Grimm, it would tend to add to Rauner more than Quinn.

"Rauner was up double digits in the primary and managed a two point win. Term limits aren't on the ballot, but the minimum wage issue is, Rauner can show he can underperform and the minimum wage issue will increase Democratic turnout, it will be close but I believe Quinn will win."

Is that what you said?

On its own it wouldn't mean much, but combined with the other one showing Quinn in the lead, it's pretty clear momentum in this race has shifted.

Also third party polling is usually anti-incumbent, and that was true in the Gov's race four years ago, so if that vote slips off of Grimm, it would tend to add to Rauner more than Quinn.

Third parties got 8% in 2010, so I don't see why they couldn't get 6% in 2014. As for Quinn not being able to crack 41%, that was pretty much the same logic people used to write him off in 2010. In fact, in the final pre-election average in November he was only at 39%. And since there's still over a month left, there's plenty of time for the support of both candidates to increase.

Damn, I didn't realize Brady's lead in the polls was almost 5% in 2010! Quinn's keeping it closer in the polls than he did 4 years ago.

Quinn is still in trouble, but I think things are moving in his direction. Bruce Rauner isn't Bill Brady, but he's certainly trying to blow this (I mean, watch that Mike Ditka ad again, dear jesus).
