He leads by 8%, but is still only polling at 45%:

Blagojevich    45%
Topinka          37%

Blagojevich would've been vulnerable if the Illinois GOP wasn't such a joke. But they are, so he'll cruise to reelection.

The head-to-head match ups aren't going to be that meaningful until after the primary. With a four way race for the GOP and a challenger on the Dem side the public perception of the candidates is going to evolve over the next two months.

It's also interesting that they only polled against one GOP candidate. Other polls have typically done multiple match up polls.

Maybe it was paid for by Topinka?

None of the six candidates is running a credible campaign at this time.

  A big shocker of a poll recently released of Cook County Dems shows Blago leading Eisendrath 53% to 13%.  The suprise comes in the anemic number posted by Blago.  Here you have an incumbent Democratic governor in arguably the most reliably Democratic county of the state.  He has the full support of the party apparatus and the pledged support of its leaders, and he can only muster 53% of the vote.  If I was Blago's campaign manager, I'd have to have my underwear changed after seeing numbers like that.
  Not good for the incumbent governor.
  As far as the campaigns are concerned, I agree with Muon2, that nobody has really broken out yet.  All have run pretty laxidaisical ho-hum campaigns to date.

Interesting and all, but the key words here are "Cook County Dems."  The West Virginia GOP had a poll showing nearly Byrd losing a while back.
