IL-PPP: Hillary dominating

[RogueBeaver]

Leads all Pubs comfortably.

[JRP1994]

Walker has a 64/15 favorable rating in IL. Interesting.

~10 point leads seem more suggestive of a Kerry/Gore-esque performance than either of Obama's wins (granted the home state effect was strong in his first election). Either Hillary is a paper tiger or the Midwest is trending Republican even faster than I thought.

[Mr. Illini]

Sanders is also leading all Pubs outside the margin of error

Just in case anyone got any ideas of a competitive Illinois in the future

[Mr. Illini]

Q21 Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion
of Scott Walker?

Favorable 32%
Unfavorable 38%
Not sure 30%

That's only among Republicans.

[Mehmentum]

Same sample that gives Obama a 47%-46% (+1) approval gives Clinton a 45%-47% (-2) favorable.  PPP doesn't appear to be picking up on any Clinton favorability crash.

Isn't 45%/47% for Clinton a rather poor showing, given how Democratic the state is?

Yes. At this point the election is "who do you not like the least"?

It is, but the point of my post was that it's in line with Obama's approval, which is different than what some other polls have shown.

Her leads are pretty weak for Illinois. Maybe the Obama bump was big.

Yes, 10 points in Illinois is a very pedestrian lead (and it's the state Hillary grew up in). The favorite son effect for Obama, largely wore off in 2012, and yet he won by close to 20 points.

Nice to see Bush trailing by less than 10.

[MT Treasurer]

If she wins the state by a Kerry 2004 margin, it might suggest good news for Republicans in PA.

Kerry won Pennsylvania in 2004. And Hillary is a much better fit there than Obama.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Clinton wont lose Pa.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

PA is indeed part of the 272 blue wall, and it is a swing blue state; like OH is a swing red state; and CO is the purple state.

Ask Wolf, Corbett came within six of winning and the race was put away long time before election night☺

PA is indeed part of the blue wall if Hillary wins. If she doesn't, then it's on play.

BTW didn't Corbett lose by 10?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Wolf won by 9, but Corbett exceeded expectations, he was down by 15 or more most of time.

[DrScholl]

Unskew for PPP's liberal bias and you have a dead heat. What a shock poll.

Seriously, Clinton will outperform Kerry here, but probably do slightly less well than Obama. Downstate has trended Republican, but the metro area isn't getting any redder and is pretty much stagnant.

Maybe by like 2028 or 2032 I can definitely see it being competitibe.

This might have been true in 2008, but not today. If she's such a better fit than Obama, why isn't she polling better than Obama 2012 there? She's currently at Kerry 2004 numbers in PA.

Well polling almost 16 months from an election is usually BS anyhow...

[Free Bird]

Oh, the sky is a nice shade of blue today...
