Looks a bit too friendly for Hillary, but Trump was never going to make Illinois close.

The Republican Governor is unpopular, Senator Kirk is way down in the polls and will lose big.

... There's a huge divide between Chicagoland and the rest of Illinois. Chicagoland is about as liberal as Boston; the rest of Illinois is to the right of Indiana in its voting patterns.  Governor Rauner is still underwater in downstate Illinois; Governor of Illinois must be one of the most snake-bitten political assignments possible.

Donald Trump is down almost 67-19 in Chicago, and 56-25 in suburban Chicago. Downstate Illinois? Trump is up 40-39 with 15% undecided. Ouch!   

Senator Kirk actually has a significant lead in downstate Illinois (45-36); he is losing by about a 61-26 margin in Chicago itself and 52-31 in the suburbs.   

A quick lesson on Illinois geography: outside of Chicagoland, Illinois is very rural -- more rural than Indiana as a whole. The divide may be along the line of whether one is a member of a farm or pays a big chunk of one's income as rent to what looks like a passive investor.

Wowie Kabooobles!  TRUMP is in Alan Keyes territory!  Trump is fading faster than my consciousness after getting fellated by Angelina Jolie in Atlantic City!

Has the NRSC cut the cord on Kirk yet? I know they gave up on Ron Johnson in Wisconsin

In an Illinois election you can generally count on the divide being:
38% Cook County
38% Downstate
24% 6 collars (Lake, McHenry, Kane, DuPage, Kendall, Will)

Ah, just read the poll and Duckworth leads by 14. I think this poll is a little too Dem friendly but Clinton will win IL by at least 15 and take Tammy with her to the Senate
