A new PPP Poll of the Illinois Senate race shows Republican Mark Kirk with a four-point lead over Democrat Alexi Giannoulias, 46%-42%, with the Green Party’s LeAlan Jones and Libertarian Mike Labno each at 3%.
Kirk and Giannoulias have been locked in a close contest for months, with neither candidate capable of delivering a decisive blow to the other, or capable of overcoming their self-inflicted scandals. The last PPP poll of the race, from Oct.16, showed Kirk with a two-point lead on Giannoulias, 42%-40%.
The TPM Poll Average for the four-way race shows Kirk (42.5) leading Giannoulias (41.1), with Jones (4.4) and Labno (3.5) trailing.
