Bailey releases poll showing his lead is within MoE
Tuesday, Jan 23, 2024 - Posted by Rich Miller * The sample size of this “brush fire” poll conducted January 16-18 for the Darren Bailey campaign is only 300 likely Republican primary voters, and has a margin of error of +/- 5.66 percent. So, take it for the small snapshot that it is…  Undecideds were 8 percent, compared to 11 percent in the earlier poll. According to this poll, the race appears to be tightening since August. But, again, small sample size and high MoE. * Fox News is doing its thing…  Check out how low the crime issue polls with southern Illinois Republicans. * No real surprise, considering…  There’s more, so click here.

“Boast”?

===“Boast”? ===
It’s a prompt for the people reading the questions.

>Crime/public safety only polling at 2% as the most important issue
I’m starting to think that Darren Bailey & Dan Proft may have been fearmongering about the SAFE-T Act in 2022, just a hunch

I get that, but that’s not…how…Bost is pronounced……right?

By any chance, was this poll comparing Darren Bailey and Mike Bost taken at the Virtue House Christian School founded by Darren Bailey? Just asking.

Really incredible what fox news has done to people’s brains that you can live 1000 miles from the border and your biggest concern is immigration

Genuine question: Who was the pollster?
- taco - Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 12:40 pm:
Yeah but he does not go by Mike “boast” so this pollster was not even saying his name correctly. Money well spent, Bailey.

It seems a bit weird that there’s such a discrepancy between the “problem” of Biden/Dems/libs and “government leadership/incompetent politicians.” Given the respondent pool, I would have thought those two categories would be deemed to be one and the same. Clearly, they’re not.

Uh are you kidding? This very blog has two posts on the topic just today. Look back and you will see it is being covered as an issue a lot here and many other places. The issue matters a lot in Chicago right now and I am guessing Kam Buckner doesn’t watch much Fox News.

Re: “Check out how low the crime issue polls with southern Illinois Republicans.”
Honestly, crime isn’t a top issue for us in Southern Illinois because most of us don’t encounter it every day. Many of my friends still sleep with their doors unlocked and never lock their cars. Crime… What crime?

Also, doesn’t Bailey’s poll ultimately prove he’s losing support while Mike Boast is gaining support? And for what it’s worth, I’d assume Bailey has a higher name ID than Bost here in the district.
- Huh? - Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 2:41 pm:
Beetle is within the margin of error? I must of misread the headline, I thought it was Beetle was an error. /s

Trap,
Sure Chicago area is talking about immigration and it’s a live issue for us, but Effingham and Xenia? Those are not in the Chicago met area and aren’t prosperous enough to be attracting too many migrants.
- cermak_rd - Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 3:44 pm:
And now I am curious is it Bost like boast or most or Bost like boss with with a t on the end? I read my news most of the time and seldom here it so wouldn’t know (plus this race is eclipsed by well everything else in my corner of Chicagoland)

“Check out how low the crime issue polls with southern Illinois Republicans.”
The party of “Law and Order” is now the party that doesn’t trust the courts, prosecutors, the feds, or even law enforcement.

The real problem is that Bailey believes he is ordained by God to be in office, that question should have been asked: Q: Who do you think God wants in Congress
- Fivegreenleaves - Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 10:20 pm:
Didn’t Bailey also think he closed the gap between him and Pritzker right before the governor’s election?
- Macon Bakin - Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 10:28 pm:
Bost freaked out because his probable voters went down 1%
