IL-Sen: Giannoulias leads Kirk by 8

At last some good news! PPP finds State Treasurer and Democratic frontrunner Alexi Giannoulias leading GOP Congressman Mark Kirk 42-34.

Interestingly, though Kirk edges indies 33-27, Alexi leads among moderates by 45-25. He also has slightly better favorables. I wonder if the airing of all the dirty laundry in the primary is helping get it out of the way.

Jackson and Hoffman trail but it is basically a statistical tie. Since Giannoulias has a clear lead in the recent primary polls this is probably academic.

I think we'll be ok in Illinois

if Democrats have a reasonable turnout operation.

Alexi is showing he can take a punch

Not out of the woods by any means but I agree this one should be ok.

Good, though not especially good

for such blue state as Illinois. May be Kirk (perfect moderate in past) is paying price for his shift to the right in order to guarantee victory in Republican primary.

I'm sure Rasmussen

Will give him more favorable numbers. Anyway, considering the numbers from elsewhere it is a larger lead than I expected.
