New Illinois poll: HRC: 62% BS: 25%

[DCBob]

Looking good in the Land of Lincoln for Madam Nominee!

1. Any relation to Baghdad Bob? it's a Republican house poll. Nice try.

[DCBob]

3. It's listed on Huffington Post Pollster.

I have never been to Baghdad.. honest.

[litlbilly]

2. oh boy, another bullshit poll.

[DCBob]

4. LOL..

Sorry you dont like it... but it is was it is.

[monicaangela]

5. Let's hope this poll

Rings as true as the Michigan poll did.

[DCBob]

6. If so Hillary still wins.

The MI polls were about 20 points off. So if this poll is 20 points off then Hillary still wins by 17.

[monicaangela]

8. Let's hope so for your sake

I'd hate to see her lose yet another one when the polls appear to be in her favor.

[DCBob]

19. Illinois is not a make or break state regardless.

Unless Bernie can start winning some of these big delegate states by large margins he's toast.

[monicaangela]

21. Fingers crossed and

saying my prayers every night. I don't like toast.

[Stuckinthebush]

29. Perfect response

Thanks!

7. If Bernie can beat 25% in Illinois it will be a victory. It is Hillary's home state.

[monicaangela]

10. Exactly Cheese Sandwich

And I believe he will.

[DCBob]

11. The Hillary team will be thrilled with a 10 point win in Illinois.

Trust me.

[6chars]

16. given the delegate disparity, it would be a win

she just has to plod along to get the nomination at this point, while Bernie needs to win the big states.

[DCBob]

17. Exactly.. and that may be their strategy now... the prevent defense.

Just keep from losing big anywhere and cruise to the nomination.

[SheenaR]

9. I will donate $100 to DU

if Hillary wins IL by 37 points


If anyone on the Clinton side would like to do the same since you think she may/will win by this much, feel free to match it.

[DCBob]

13. I doubt 37 also.

I will be happy with a 10-15 point win given what happened in Michigan.

[Blue_In_AK]

12. After Michigan, I think polls are irrelevant. N/t

[DCBob]

14. Michigan was a shocker but most polling has been fairly accurate.

Especially in the south. I hope the pollsters learned something from MI and have adjusted their techniques.

15. Chicago, Chicago, Chicago.

I doubt she'll get a 40 point margin, but 20 is not out of the question. We may lose Ohio, because it is very similar to Michigan. Illinois however is not as similar as people think. I grew up in Kalamazoo, been to Chicago several times (only 2.5 hrs away, easy weekend trip). The two areas are night and day. The rural areas of Michigan barely overcame Detroit. Chicago has about 3-4 times the population of Detroit but the population in the rural areas is similar to the pop of rural Michigan. The math just isn't there, I don't think a lot of Sanders supporters understand that. I'll admit, we got more than a bit ahead of ourselves with Michigan. Illinois is a different story, pretty confident about that one.

[DCBob]

18. Right.. I agree with those points.

I know Illinois very well... lived there 20 years.

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. I'm sure it's wrong! Rahmbo something something. SAMPLE BALLOTS!!!!

I'm an expert!

[DCBob]

25. HA!

Got that right!

[Ferd Berfel]

22. I hope someone with integrity in this state

will make sure the tabulators are working correctly.

I did pole watching one year, I thought things were shady and told everyone I could (including Hartmann)
Melissa Bean (D-IL 10) won that year and I delivered the totals tape to her victory party. But I wasn't comfortable with it.

The next time I didn't vote for her (for Obama though). She lost and Joe Walsh won HE on;y was in for 1 term and people woke up - then we got Tammy Duckworth!

[calguy]

23. I see the swarm of BSer flies have swooped in to debunk this poll

The only polls that are accurate are the ones showing Bernie ahead, right?

[Chitown Kev]

24. Bernie's big problem in Illinois

Might be early voting...early voting in Illinois is surpassing that of 2008
