Fox/Pulse Poll: Kirk (R) 43% Giannoulias (D) 41% Jones (G) 7%

[WI_DEM]

The race to fill President Obama’s former Senate seat from Illinois is heading down to the wire with Republican Mark Kirk clinging to a slim lead.

In a new Fox News battleground state poll of likely voters, Kirk, a congressman from the northern suburbs of Chicago, led Giannoulias, the state treasury and a political ally of Obama, by just two points, 43 percent to 41 percent.

Kirk’s margin is identical to the result when Fox polled the state on Sept. 25. The worry for Giannoulias is that Green Party Candidate LeAlan Jones is still polling at a steady 7 percent a month after the first poll.


Republican state Sen. Bill Brady is still leading in his bid to unseat incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn. Brady’s margin has shrunk by half in the past month from 10 points in September to 5 points this week, 44 percent to 39 percent.
