Democratic incumbents Gov. J.B. Pritzker and U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth are leading their opponents by double digits, with the governor also faring better than Republican nominee Darren Bailey on his own turf in downstate Illinois, a Chicago Sun-Times/WBEZ Poll found.
The findings ahead of the Nov. 8 election — and less than a week after a televised gubernatorial debate — aren’t completely rosy for Pritzker, however, also showing the Democratic incumbent still struggling to boost his favorability numbers. But Bailey’s approval ratings are even worse.
