In the first poll released after new petition filings, Democrat JB Pritzker leads incumbent Republican Governor Bruce Rauner by 15 % in a four way race including Conservative Party candidate Sam McCann and Libertarian Kash Jackson.



The poll of 1208 likely Illinois general election voters was conducted June 26-28, 2018. The margin of error is 2.8%. The poll was conducted by live callers and answered on both land lines (631) and cell phones (577).

Since 2001, Victory Research has conducted a semi-monthly statewide poll called The Illinois Poll. Victory Research does not have a client in the Illinois Governor’s race. Victory Research’s website is www.illinoispoliticsblog.com.



Rauner, already the underdog in every published poll since the primary, is hurt more by the presence of the two new candidates than is Pritzker, according to the poll. McCann and Jackson combined receive more than 17% from self-identified Republicans and only 1.2% from self-identified Democrats, according to the poll. In addition, the two new candidates take significant support from Rauner in Central and Southern Illinois, according to the poll.



In the four way race, Pritzker is ahead or tied in every geographic region of the state except the collar counties, where Rauner holds a slight lead (41.9%-38.3%), as well as in Southern Illinois (32.8%-32.0%). McCann’s support hits double digits in Central Illinois, where he is from (11.6%), and in southern Illinois (10.2%).

Another poll where all the All Russia People's Front seems to be taking it on the chin.

1. JB will have mid 50's and rauner will be lucky to finish 3rd behind McCanns

Illinois GOP have little incentive to come out and vote in Novemeber as the govenor's race is over once McCanns got put on the ballot. 1/2 of GOP voters will vote for McCanns and Rauner will get ZERO democratic votes this time. The blue wave can easily flip 3-5 GOP congressional seats

2. Rauner's toast

It won't be close here in Illinois this year.

3. Standing by as mayoral candidate LITERALLY hands out cash in a church - not a good look for Rauner

4. Pritzker is richer than God.

A 1% Democrat.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. An abundance of money

An abundance of money =/= an inherently bad person ?

[hatrack]

7. Not necessarily . . .

But you can pretty much guarantee a certain . . . . detachment from what most people experience in life, and it can be hard to bridge that gap.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. I imagine

I imagine my world view is more closely aligned with your nominal Democratic billionaire than your nominal Trump voter and I would feel infinitely more comfortable in the former's presence.

[mcar]

14. FDR, Kennedys

were 1%ers. Are you saying Democrats shouldn't have supported them?

[hatrack]

15. They made the effort to bridge that gap . .

Kind of the exceptions that prove the rule.

[mcar]

16. Why would you assume a Democrat wouldn't?

[hatrack]

19. I am not "assuming that a Democrat wouldn't"

I'm assuming that anyone who is that rich, particularly if born to it, is going to have to work at it to understand what most Americans go through in their daily lives.

Some do - as mentioned, FDR, the Kennedy family. Some don't.

18. You are wrong and uninformed. The Pritzers are good people,

who are actively engaged in a large number of charitable efforts that are aimed at improving the lives of poor people. Where does this nonsense come from that a rich person is automatically evil for being rich?

[hatrack]

20. Did I say "evil" at any point? No, I didn't.

Go put words in someone else's mouth.

[Blue_true]

22. Casting aspersions is often just as damaging as outright coming out and saying it.

[LanternWaste]

21. Kind of a lazy way to dismiss evidence which counters your unsupported premise.

"Kind of the exceptions that prove the rule..."

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Really?

The exception that proves the rule? You fell back on that hackneyed and provably false aphorism?

Sheesh!

[mcar]

12. So?

[Blue_true]

17. The family has been longtime democrats and support a large number of charitable efforts.

They appear to be good people. Being rich doesn't make a person a devil, nor does being poor make a person a saint.

11. Glad to hear it for my relatives in Illinois

They are not too political, but really hate Rauner.
