New Poll Finds Rauner Can’t Win As Republicans Flee

Ives has proven that she is a political fighter willing to stand up to powerful establishment politicians in both parties and lead the charge against the political ruling class.
February 8, 2018 - According to a poll of likely Illinois voters, reported in Capitol Fax, support for Governor Rauner is cratering.

The poll confirms that Governor Rauner cannot win in a general election.  “[The] poll found [Democrat Candidate Daniel] Biss leading Gov. Rauner 47-30 in a head-to-head matchup… [Democrat Candidate J.B.] Pritzker also led Rauner… by 13 points, 48-35.”

The poll finds that as Rauner’s betrayals are exposed, Republicans are fleeing from him. “Gov. Rauner's favorability rating among Republicans is much narrower than a poll released last month… A poll taken by We Ask America in mid-January had Rauner's favorables at 65 percent and his unfavorables at 25 percent. But the new poll found that just 49 percent of Republicans have a favorable view of Rauner vs. 43 percent with an unfavorable view, and 9 percent said they weren't sure.”

Rauner is not in charge in Springfield, and his wholesale betrayal of the conservative platform has made him unelectable in 2018. Jeanne Ives, on the other hand, has energized the party’s base.

Eighty-five percent of Illinoisans believe Illinois is on the wrong track. Governor Rauner promised families and businesses he would put them on a new path. He betrayed them. On the Democrat side, Daniel Biss and J.B. Pritzker are campaigning on ideas that will just lead us further down the same path.

Ives has proven that she is a political fighter willing to stand up to powerful establishment politicians in both parties and lead the charge against the political ruling class.
