A new Zogby poll taken for the Independent Insurance Agents of Illinois shows the state's accidental Senator, Roland Burris, winning just 5% of the vote in a three way Democratic primary with State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias and State Comptroller Dan Hynes:
Giannoulias 28.1 %
Hynes 26.8%
Burris 5.3%
Among Republican voters, Northshore Congressman Mark Kirk edges his colleague from the Western Chicago Suburbs, Peter Roskam, by a five point margin, 26.3% to 21.0%
When Independent voters were present with all 5 choices, Democrat Giannoulias and Republican Kirk lead the pack in a dead heat (12.6% and 12.3% respectively), with Democrat Hynes running a close third (11.6%). Republican Roskam finishes a distant fourth with 5.5% and the hapless Burris is dead last winning just 0.6% of the vote.
In the race for Governor, the newly installed Democrat Pat Quinn - who replaced Rod Blagojevich after his impeachment last month - trails state AG Lisa Madigan by a sizable margin among Democratic voters, 29.5% to 41.0%.
Joe Birkett, the State's Attorney for DuPage County, dominates among the three choices presented to Republican voters with 39.3%.
Among Independent voters Democrats Quinn and Madigan lead with 19.2% and 18.4% respectively, with Republican Birkett winning 8.1%.
