| Description | Democrat Rod R. Blagojevich has opened a double-digit lead in the race to become the next governor of Illinois -- thanks, in part, to voters' confusion as to who exactly is his opponent.
According to a poll released this week by the Chicago Tribune/WGN, the three-term House member now enjoys a 17-point lead over his Republican rival, Illinois Attorney General Jim Ryan. But when pollsters pointed out, in a separate question, that Jim Ryan is not the same person as George Ryan, the state's GOP embattled governor, and then asked, once again, whom they preferred for governor, Blagojevich's lead shrank to 10 percentage points. |
