*** UPDATE *** Fight Back for a Better Tomorrow PAC, that dark money outfit run by Local 150, just reloaded with another $300,000 for more TV ads against Drury. That puts them close to a million, right where Drury is.

* Remember this press release from yesterday?…

On the heels of an internal poll showing Pat Quinn’s numbers plummeting and Scott Drury’s rising, Scott Drury’s campaign for Attorney General has begun airing a new statewide campaign ad

* Drury was cagey about his poll, but he did say this…

Since the baseline survey, Quinn’s support has dropped by almost 20 percentage points. Raoul has gained 9 points. Drury has gained 5 points.

* Mark Brown got Drury to open up about that poll…

Drury conceded he is still only at 8 percent or 9 percent overall, but said he’s reached double digits in the suburbs and Downstate.

In an interview, [million-dollar campaign contributor Steven Miller] said it was that momentum, coupled with a high percentage of undecided voters in the race (anywhere from 30 percent to 45 percent), that convinced him to make the investment.

A gain of five points means he started at 3 or 4, which is about where I had him last week.

Long way to go to get to first place, though.
