Do better, Fox 32

* Fox 32…
* The headline has since been changed, but not the story…
A voter opinion survey done for Republican Darren Bailey’s campaign shows Gov. JB Pritzker with a lead. But it’s closer than the landslide, 16 percentage points, Democrat Pritzker won by four years ago. […]
A survey done Sept. 8-10 for the current Republican nominee found Pritzker at 44%, Bailey 37% and libertarian Scott Schluter 8%.
Some might question the results since, before asking 500 likely voters which candidate for governor they prefer, the poll asked:
“…would you rather vote for a strongly conservative Republican candidate that will take the fight to the rich elite and tackle the big issues like fixing our economy and fighting crime or would you vote for a billionaire Democratic candidate who will focus on fighting the cultural issues like abortion rights?”
Some?
Also, the “boutique data and research agency” asked nine questions before getting to the head-to-heads.
Kinda reminds me of the Jesse Sullivan “surge” that never happened but that a handful of reporters somehow fell for.
