This is the only poll showing any kind of lead like this, so take it with that in mind. And remember to get out there and work.
n Illinois’ 6th District, which encompasses the western suburbs of Chicago and is now represented by outgoing Republican Henry Hyde, Democrat Tammy Duckworth, an Iraqi War veteran and double amputee, has moved from 5% ahead of Republican Peter Roskam to 14% ahead. This district is right next door to the Chicago district represented by Rahm Emanuel, the Clinton-era White House advisor who is now in charge of the Democratic efforts to take control of the House of Representatives. The Democratic surge in this district holds one more irony for Emanuel, who witnessed the impeachment of his former boss led by a team of Republicans – one of whom was Hyde.
