That’s obviously a dead heat, but it’s the first poll of the cycle with Hynes up.
Quinn hasn’t had an effective response yet to the furlough program or the Washington ad so I have to imagine he’ll continue slipping. I couldn’t catch the debate from last night so I can’t analyze its impact, though one has to think not many undecideds at this point are listening to a debate.
Dillard is up 2 points on McKenna with Brady close behind. While Brady might try and say this is a good result, he has little money and if he hasn’t built up a reservoir of support, he doesn’t have the money to hit undecideds with last minute messages. It certainly looks like this is shaping up as a race between Dillard and McKenna though I wouldn’t count out Jim Ryan either.
The Senate numbers show Kirk maintaining a huge lead and Hughes dramatically underperforming. Giannoulias is up 12 on Hoffman and 14 on Jackson. Hoffman may start to realize running a general election campaign in a Democratic primary wasn’t the wisest move.

Yes. And he may realize that running for mayor of Chicago in a race for the U.S. Senate isn’t very wise either. In any case, even if he realizes any of this, it’s too late.
