50% for challenger Tammy Duckworth and 40% for incumbent Congressman Joe Walsh.
9% undecided.
Margin of error is +/-4%.
The poll showing Tammy Duckworth leading Joe Walsh by ten points with ten days until the election ran on the Chicago Tribune’s front page Friday.
That’s what the Chicago Tribune poll found.
The results or some other reason caused Missouri-based Now or Never PAC to pull over $2 million worth of ads.
Freedom Works Free PAC has closed about half that gap.
= = = = =
Bet you can’t figure out whom the Sun-Times endorsed from this Saturday front page.
Reading the SuperPAC story on page 3 of the Chicago Sun-Times today, I see the source of the money coming from Freedom Works Free PAC is the Duckworth campaign, so perhaps it is not accurate.
Stick a fork in him, Congressman Walsh is done. SuperPACs don’t bail from races unless other internal polling confirms the public polls.
Time to ready the Joe Walsh for McHenry County Executive campaign for 2014.
Oh god- that is one more reason to vote now on Franks’ referendum.
Ugh…iPhone type.
Vote no.
Not vote now.
Are voters so ill informed that they would vote for duckworth?
The polls are bogus, they did the same thing 2 years ago and Joe beat Melissa Bean…Axelrod, Emmanuel and Durbin have big clout with Trib and they sure don’t want Joe re-elected.
Joe had over 150 volunteers going door to door today and will do the same tomorrow, Duckworth is nowhere to be seen.
Fred, maybe u r right, but facts say otherwise, especially Congressman Walsh being abandoned by the conservative SuoerPACs.
We’ll know for certain in less then 10 days.
There was only one company doing polls two years ago. It was We Ask America.
It polled in Sept. and Oct. and both times showed the race close.
Everyone but McHenry County Blog ignored those polls.
Just want to point out that it isn’t just the Trib’spoll that has Duckworth up by 10 or so.
Of the last five polls of the race, 4 of them have Duckworth up by 9 or more.
Only WAA has Walsh leading.
@Fred- you are wrong about what happened in 2010 with Walsh/Bean.
Everyone took that race for granted, and, as Cal said, only WAA polled the race.
No other polls were done showing anything different than what WAA had.
