Sun-Times/WBEZ Poll: Pritzker’s ‘coattails’ pull other, lesser-known statewide Democrats along for the ride

Democrat Alexi Giannoulias, left to right, Republican Dan Brady, Democrat Kwame Raoul and Republican Thomas DeVore. Giannoulias and Brady are running for Illinois secretary of state, and Raoul and DeVore for Illinois attorney general. (Sun-Times file photos by Pat Nabong, except for pnoto of Raoul, which Kevin Tanaka took for the Sun-Times.)

Democrats appear in little danger of losing control of statewide offices three weeks from now, with the party’s candidates for Illinois secretary of state, attorney general, comptroller and treasurer all holding sizable leads over their Republican rivals in a new Chicago Sun-Times/WBEZ poll.
