Prez numbers

Pollster Rod McCulloch also did a statewide presidential poll over the weekend. Here are some of the results:

The Democratic stronghold of Chicago fronts Senator Kerry to a huge lead (76-21.8%). Suburban Cook County, formerly a reliable Republican region, also would vote for Kerry, by a margin of 58.5-38.4%, according to the poll. President Bush does hold a lead in three of the other four regions of the state, including the still solidly Republican Collar Counties (55-41), Northwest Illinois (50-44), and Central Illinois (51-44). The poll shows Senator Kerry holding a slight lead in Southern Illinois (48.5-47.0%).

I thought someone should know about this…I recent heard about a quiet campaign to lie on exit polls to skew the numbers. It’s supposedly a protest over media coverage of elections. I have no idea where it came from, I saw a site on yahoo while I was doing a search…interesting concept, yeah?
