Statewide polling last week showed that Bill Brady’s campaign for Governor is moving forward. Head-to-head matchups between Brady and two presumed contenders for the Democratic nomination showed Brady earning support across the board and solidly in the game.
The numbers showed:
32% Brady
39% Quinn
29% Undecided
27% Brady
46% Madigan
26% Undecided
Brady is drawing expected support from Republicans but also gaining favor of African-Americans, Hispanics, Democrats and independents. Both Governor Quinn and Attorney General Madigan have won multiple statewide elections, and both are current elected statewide officials. Brady’s not leading and has more work to do, but the polling suggests he’s clearly off to a good start.
— The poll was conducted by Public Policy Polling survey and included 991 Illinois voters. It was taken April 24-26 and has a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percent.
I don’t think solidly in the game means what Brady thinks it means.
