Global Strategy Group for the DCCC (8/17-19, likely voters):
Dan Seals (D): 39
Mark Kirk (R-inc): 46
Undecided: 14
(MoE: ±4.9%)
Kirk’s latest internal shows him with a monster 22-point lead over Seals, and while these are older numbers, I’m more inclined to buy this picture than Kirk’s lopsided polls which have Democrats and Republicans at near-parity in the 10th.
In the Presidential race, GSG finds that Obama has a 51-36 lead over McCain. As Dan Seals continues to hammer Kirk for railing against the “Obama agenda”, more Democratic-leaning voters should return home in the coming weeks.
