Giannoulias Pulls Ahead Of Kirk In New Poll From Campaign:
I want to find out how the other Dems will stack up... I'd rather support the first ever openly gay US Senator if he's likely to win against the Republican, than the also-pretty-cool straight guy, but that's just my bias!
"Democrat Alexi Giannoulias has pulled slightly ahead of Republican Mark Kirk in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup in the race for Illinois' soon-to-vacant U.S. Senate seat, according to a new poll.
A poll commissioned by the Giannoulias campaign shows the first-term state treasurer and Democratic frontrunner beating the North Shore congressman 46 percent to 43 percent based on a sample of 805 likely voters.
The same poll, conducted Oct. 25-28 by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, shows Democratic rival David Hoffman trailing Kirk 39 percent to 48 percent. The poll contains a 3.5-percentage-point margin of error.
Fellow Democrats Cheryle Robinson Jackson, the former president of the Chicago Urban League, and Jacob Meister, a Chicago attorney, were not included in the poll."
