Trib polling up on the Governor’s race.

Technically, he gained a point. I mean that’s meaningless given natural fluctuations, but you’d think something would dent the armor. Apparently not.
Will Quinn get back to regular form after the election at least? It could be fun seeing him battle down the Guv as the investigations continue.

A week before the election, the survey of 600 likely voters shows Blagojevich backed by 44 percent, Topinka supported by 29 percent and Green Party candidate Richard Whitney with 13 percent. Another 13 percent were undecided in the survey, conducted Friday through Sunday, which has an error margin of 4 percentage points

Even more fun from the end:

The survey found independent voters divided in their support for governor—29 percent for Topinka, 28 percent for Blagojevich and 24 percent for Whitney. Blagojevich also was leading Topinka in the traditionally Republican-leaning collar counties—35 percent to 29 percent—and he trailed by only 2 percentage points Downstate.
