On September 17, an Illinois gubernatorial poll was released by We Ask America. This poll asks voters about all five ballot-listed candidates. The results: Republican Bill Brady 41.95%, Democrat Pat Quinn 32.43%, independent Scott Lee Cohen 5.06%, Green Party nominee Richard Whitney 3.54%, Libertarian Lex Green 1.65%, undecided 15.57%.
The poll also breaks down voter support according to the voter’s party affiliation. Thanks to Political Wire for the link.
That might change if the CP can get their candidates on the ballot.
It is a disappointing and surprising poll for real independents and third parties. Scott Lee Cohen is a sour grapes Democrat. I guess it will be a true test of the popularity of the Greens in Illinois this fall.
This poll and the recent Tribune poll show Lex Green and Scott Lee Cohen have hurt Whitney more than anyone.
So the CP would be behind the Libertarians?
