A poll commissioned by Rock Island Mayor Mark Schwiebert shows likely voters favor four Democrats over Republic candidate Andrea Zinga to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Lane Evans in the 17th Congressional District seat, with state Sen. John Sullivan leading the pack.
Mr. Schwiebert commissioned the poll of 300 likely voters, done May 9-12, before the nominating convention in Galesburg. Personal Marketing Research asked voters if the election were held now, would they choose one of the four leading Democratic contenders or Ms. Zinga.
Mr. Sullivan of Rushville had 49 percent, compared to Ms. Zinga's 24 percent. Mr. Schwiebert had 45 percent to Ms. Zinga's 24 percent; state Rep. Mike Boland of East Moline had 41 percent to Ms. Zinga's 28 percent; and Phil Hare, Rep. Evans' district director, was favored 39 percent to Ms. Zinga's 29 percent.
The poll had a margin of error of 5 percent. The pool of respondents was based on 2004 voting data. A fifth candidate, Quincy teacher Rob Mellon, wasn't included in the poll. |
