(R)asmussen Poll--IL Senate: Kirk 44% (+3) Giannoulias 41% (+4)

[WI_DEM]

Illinois’ race for the U.S. Senate continues to be a close run thing.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Illinois finds Republican Mark Kirk with 44% of the vote and Democrat Alexi Giannoulias with 41% support. Four percent (4%) like Green Party candidate LeAlan Jones. Another four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and eight percent (8%) are undecided.

The race is still a Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings.

Two weeks ago, Kirk held a 41% to 37% lead, while Jones picked up nine percent (9%) of the vote.

1. Maybe Obama can close the Show for Giannoulias?

3. I think that's the only shot. I voted for a different candidate in the primary because I knew

this would happen. Maybe he'll win by one vote.... mine. :silly:

4. Surely those green voters who were in this poll will not hand the state over to the

republicons. We're struggling enough as it is.. we don't need to go completely bankrupt!

6. You mean to tell me after the 2000 election there are idiots STILL willing

to vote for a Green Party person WTF!!!

7. Unfortunately, I think you're seeing the results of the backlash against Rod Blagojevich here

Giannoulias is a good guy. But I think Democrats are going to take a beating in this state in November. It's not looking very good for Pat Quinn for governor, for instance.

In my opinion. For what it's worth.
