Description | The campaign for Illinois governor is a horse race after all, a new Copley News Service poll shows.
The poll gives Gov. Rod Blagojevich only a 44 percent to 40 percent lead over his Republican opponent, state Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka with less than a week remaining before the election.
Green Party candidate Rich Whitney has the support of 7 percent of likely voters, according to the poll. Another 9 percent remain undecided.
The gap between Blagojevich and Topinka is within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points. Other recent polls have indicated a much wider margin in favor of Blagojevich.
Mason-Dixon Polling & Research conducted the poll of 625 likely voters Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 30-31. |
