Republican Holds 8% Lead in Illinois Governor Race

 Republican Bill Brady is challenging incumbent Democratic Governor Pat Quinn in that state's race to be the chief executive. Quinn, of course, was appointed by former Governor Rod Blagojevich and took over for him after he left office in his messy pay-for-Senate scandal. So it seems that Brady has a shot at winning the Governor's Mansion in this blue state.

Brady (R): 46%
Quinn * (D): 38%
Other/und: 16%
* Denotes incumbent

Notice that the undecided tally is still high. The good news is that they are not shifting towards the current governor. The bad news is that they are not pushing Brady over 50%. It appears that many Democratic voters will not vote for a Republican-- or at least not say so, no matter how scandal-ridden or incompetent the state's Democratic Party apparatus is.

  1. I have to imagine that this means even the president's home state is waffling. Not a good sign for the Dems.
