A Research America poll released on October 7 shows these Illinois results for three statewide races:
For Governor, Democratic 49.7%, Republican 27.7%, Libertarian 6.3%, the remainder undecided or won’t vote.
For U.S. Senate, Democratic 48.2%, Republican 28.5%, Libertarian 5.5%, the remainder undecided or won’t vote.
For Attorney General, Democratic 42.6%, Republican 25.2%, Libertarian 5.7%. See this news story. Thanks to Bill Redpath for the link.
Hopefully, none the candidates of either major party get a majority of the vote for any of these offices.
The more often major party candidates get spoiled, the stronger the case for alternative voting methods.
I would love to know how the LP is polling in the race for Comptroller. I believe that’s our best chance for %5 on election day next month.
Congratulations to the Libertarian candidates for their strong showings in the polls and best wishes for them to do even better in the election results.
Whitfield is a mindless robotic party hack.
