Q9 If the Democratic candidates for US Senate next year were Roland Burris, Jan Schakowsky, Alexi Giannoulias, and Lisa Madigan who would you vote for?
What we has discovered, is that voters will support a candidate that jails convicts over a candidate that does business with them, a candidate with a possible future as one, and a candidate who is married to a convict. 14% of those polled threw up.

VanillaMan - I think boring is not such a bad thing considering what Illinois experienced. Instead of boring, lets call it "serious leadership."
And, Lisa had been called a lot of things, like a fighter, etc., but boring just doesn't fit.

Like Bears third-string quarterbacks, candidates who have yet to declare for a race historically enjoy unusually large, if soft, support. Once they get in the game, things change.

Voters are telling the rest of the nation: we don't give a damn about reform. Weren't you morons watching when we re-elected Daley over and over and even re-elected Blago until you shoved it in our face so much with those tapes we had to get rid of him less we look worse than Louisiana?

Since this is a partisan poll, the interesting thing is that, for now, Madigan and Giannoulias appear to be able to write their own ticket. And all of those in the poll have records, so that voters ostensibly know (or should know) what they're getting to a large extent.

Out of all polls to consider or reject a poll that asks the person being interviewed to press a number on their phone is the least informative. This is pretty worthless. I hope no one paid alot for this.

I think Alexi has good name recognition but when he starts making more public speaking appearances his overall oddness will show more and his numbers will go down. Madigan's numbers will maybe improve once she gets out there more. I think a good question of the day is who is going to get a smaller percentage of the vote in Cook County, Burris or Stroger.

So much for Jan's poll numbers - kind of unfortunate for her because that was a fast 2 days. Why no Jan/Alexi head-to-head in this one? Also interesting, Alexi leading in the African American community with Burris in the race.

I don't doubr that Lisa Madigan trumps all the other candidates for U.S. Senate. Only problem is that I edon't think she wants to be the next U.S. Senator from Illinois at this stage in her life/career. I beleive Madigan would defeat Burris and Alexi easily. Governor Quinn wishes/dreams that she would run for Senate instead of Governor. Quinn would endorse Madigan immediately if she declared her candidacy for the U.S. Senate. I think the best thing for the Democratic Party is if Lisa M runs for Governor, giving other ambitious Democartic leaders an opportunity to move up the political food chain. Quinn looks pretty vulnerable to me, notwithstnding his good intentions and credible effort to turn the state around.

With all of the bad press Burris has nowhere to go but up. I’m pretty surprised he is polling higher than Schakowsky, after every newspaper in the state called for him to resign. I suspect most of his supporters are AA's concerned about the lack of black senators.
Alexi deals and that broadway bank smell, if it gets some play he'll stop looking like Camelot. Speaking of that why didn't they poll Chris Kennedy? It looks like he may toss his hat in the ring.

It seems Burris has a current solid base of around 15%. Replace Madigan with one or two more less popular/known candidates (such as a Kennedy, perhaps), give the voters a year to "move on" from the Blago appointment, and Burris' numbers could be dangerously close to striking distance of stealing the nomination.

Q1 Burris disapproval 49% This means, even though on life support, he's not dead yet. It means if there is a divided white vote Burris could win the primary at about 30%, the anger seems to be dying down. Except if Lisa Madigan runs for senate, then she will win, she makes Jim Edgar's popularity look like Bush's.

He has a strong job approval with them from a poll we've seen. But as this and other polls have shown, high job approval for Quinn does not equal strong polling against LM.
Call me crazy, but I doubt many Repubs will take Dem ballots to vote for a guy who tried to raise their state tax rate by 50 percent.

I haven't studied up on her record, but me and 74% of the rest of us have come away with a good impression.
