Quinn "Most Unpopular"
- With only one in four Illinois voters approving his job performance, Gov. Pat Quinn is the least popular in the country and would lose in head-to-head pairings against two of three Republicans eying his job in 2014, a newly commissioned survey found Thursday.
Just 25 percent of voters in Illinois approved of the work Quinn is doing, while 64 percent disapprove, the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling firm found. That level of support made him “the most unpopular governor [it] has polled on anywhere in the country this year,” the polling firm said.
If a general election were held today, Quinn would lose to state Sen. Kirk Dillard (R-Hinsdale) by a 44 percent to 37 percent and to state Treasurer Dan Rutherford by a 43 percent to 39 percent margin, the firm reported.
You know what this mean? Primary Battle!
- Beyond measuring how Quinn might match up against potential Republican opponents, the Public Policy Polling survey also showed the governor is vulnerable in a primary, though no Democrat has stepped forward and openly declared he or she is planning to take on Quinn in 2014.
The firm found that Quinn would trail Bill Daley, the ex-U.S. Commerce secretary and former Mayor Richard M. Daley’s brother 37 percent to 34 percent, and the spread would be even wider if Attorney General Lisa Madigan took on Quinn, the firm said.
In a hypothetical matchup, Quinn would trailer her by a 64- to 20-percent deficit.
This of course, is what Madigan has been grooming Lisa for for years - The King of all Thieves leaving everything to his daughter. That way Madigan succeeds where Shortshanks failed (at least so far).

Be careful what you wish for...
We wished Weiss gone - we got McBoner
We wished Daley gone - we got Satan himself
We wished Obama gone - we got Obama 2.0
What's next?
We must have really pissed off the gods.
I think a chimpanzee, a ham sandwich, and a doorknob would all beat Quinn in an election.
Mel reynolds for governor......why not ?
Quinn is a Pumpkin Head
MEL REYNOLDS for Governor!
lol, umm number one, don't blame God, he gave us the power to choose, and as long as the chimp is an independent he has my vote(ham too salty)and Mel...well lock your daughters up and I'm pretty sure stupidity will put him in the vacant seat, and lastly what did a pumpkin ever do to you???
We are really screwed ! Charlatans & pickpockets are all that seek lucrative public office in Chgo, Ill, and cook county.
As another poster mentioned, I'll be voting for my ham sandwich next election. Please, no more daley & madigan scum !!! Haven't they screwed the public enough !!!!!
Apparently they forgot to include he vote fraud factor.
The stage is set for Quinn to take his massive election defeat come the next election for governor. I see either Lisa Madigan or anyone the extended Daley Crime Family wants for governor. We have absolutely no choice in the matter. They will give us who they want and that person will get elected.

The chimp would do a better job too.
Tom Dart for Governor !!!!
Just retire and move out of the state. Leave it to the animals and the thieves that they vote into office.
With all the illegals getting D.L.'s and being registered to vote at the same time, he's a shoe in.
Dont matter not in Illinois.
Sad thing is that he will probably get re-elected anyways. The level of stupidity in this democratic state is ridiculous. We are drowning in debt and yet they want to pretend that all the entitlement programs have nothing to do with it. We need welfare reform. The only way to begin that is to bring to light all the politicians and their cronies who are profiting from the entitlement programs. That is the main reason it isn't happening, too many political parasites cashing in on the social parasites.
at least he has managed to stay out of prison, a great accomplishment for an illinois governor--- maybe we can see if jessie "the body" ventura is interested in felonois....
Quinn would loose to a Daley?! Oh my God. The downstaters hate the Daley name (so do Chicagoans, but you knew that). So for Quinn to be trailing a Daley....that is unbelievable. He should head out to the garage with a hose and the car keys.
Gov. Potato Head might be a better description, covers his appearance and his lack of smarts
The state as well as the country is screwed up. They spend money they don't have. They say, "worry about the bills later" They do their time, then flee with their pension.
The man is clueless. That python cartoon showed that.
Quinn wins or loses to whoever the Madigan's, Daley's and Pritzker's decide.
DUH !
(hear the loud forehead slap)
must be a mandate

Obviously not, he was elected once already. Same was said for Daley, Rahm, Obama etc etc but somehow they keep getting elected!!!
No one saw the article recently stating Bill Daley was interested? Be very concerned people, if a Daley runs he will win. Too much power and money behind them for a republican to beat them. It would be interesting though because Daley and Madigan always had a little unfriendly south side rivalry over who had more power
Lisa is his step daughter. Fact. I wonder if she even legally changed her name to Madigan before running for office. Now she is married but still uses the moniker. How convenient.
We are doomed.
I am leaving.
Just heard on radio if BLAGO ran he would beat Quinn....
We Are Screwed in this state
Idiot Quinn is raising the license plate fee by $2 per car and giving the money to the parks. PARKS?? Why not put it toward the pension that is underfunded. He needs to be put out of office!
This State needs to get with the other 49 states and legalize CCW's. Quinn needs to go. In the meanwhile, I urge citizens to protect themselves when in the Mag Mile area no matter what the knuckleheads in IL, Cook Cty and Chi say. The killers have firearms and knives so law abiding citizens should as well. And law abiding citizens should take gun classes prior to arming themselves. Remember you never pull a gun unless you are in immediate decision of being attacked.
MS
Are you kidding me?
Our "Accidental Govenor" will get re-elected by the morons who live up here.
Madigan for governor. I've heard the rumors and all I can do is shake my head. When will these idiots get it? If that ever happens, I'll know it's time to pack my bags.
Idiot.
I am sure Quinn's fillings are hurt!lol
Give the financial shape this state is in, why in heaven's name would anyone want to be in charge of this state?
Unless, of course, you are a Madigan and you and your friends need to steal what little there is left.

Don't forget about the abcessed boil !!!
When the late Mayor Washington calls you incompetent you know you are really, really, really incompetent.
I liked him at first - he seemed like a true public servant with his Sears Suckers suits, then he became just like all the rest - but still in cheap suits.

that's because the chimpanzee, the ham sandwich and the doorknob were all knocked off the ballot before the primaries.

Yeah- Illinois was on FOX Cable News this morning and they said Illinois was in debt $200 BILLION in unfunded pensions. Then Megyn Kelly ran the Squeezy the Pension Python Ad (WTF??) Illinois looked SO LAME on national news.
Later in the day, I saw another Illinois ad for Earthquake Preparedness.
EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS??????
Where are we getting money to make and run STUPID ADS??? Who is in charge of spending money in this state???
PAY YOUR BILLS!
Earthquake Ads? What nephew got that contract????
OT: When ugly little daughter Lisa Madigan comes around sniffing for votes next election, all officers should please remember this:

The state’s fight to strip disgraced former Chicago police Commander Jon Burge of his pension was revived Friday by an appeals court that reversed a Cook County judge's ruling and said the state's top prosecutor could challenge the pension board's decision.
Burge is serving a 4 ½-year sentence in prison following his conviction last year for lying about the torture and physical abuse of numerous criminal suspects.
After he was convicted, the police pension board deadlocked 4-4 on whether Burge could continue to collect his $3,000-a-month pension. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan sued, asking the courts to find that Burge that should lose his pension.
“Taxpayers should never be forced to foot the bill for a convicted public official,” Madigan said in a statement issued this afternoon.
Burge’s attorney could not immediately be reached for comment, but he has previously said he expected a lengthy legal battle over his client’s pension.
---
These political maggots collect pensions far in excess of any salary they ever made and they are spending much more on the fight to strip this guy of his measly $3,000 a month than the pension is even worth. But little ugly Lisa did nothing about the Cook County States Attorney (Richard M Daley for newcomers) who knew what was going on and did nothing and was never even deposed in this case.
Sickening.
Do they have poll results for most CLUELESS governor?
While I'm a Dumbocrat, I'll admit I had trouble voting for Quinn last time. If Bill Brady were slightly less obnoxious he'd have easily won. I don't care who runs against him next time, he's never getting my vote again.
In the Nivember election 93% of the incumbents in Congress who ran were reelected while Congress had a 9% approval rating, so I doubt Quinn is very worried right now.
Remember it was the Chicago and cook county vote that got Quinn elected. Brady carried the state.
The Quinn Bin...

Be still my tongue.
OK? Where's our pension, contract, health care, TACOS that don't dead bug and MANPOWER.
Go to old time radio on mp3 and get a copy of the DANA ANDREWS I was a communist for the FBI Rom 1958 for $5. (OR GET ONE AT THE LIBRARY OR EBAY) then forget it's 1958 but today and you'll know why.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS NOT FOR SELLING STUFF AND THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS IS NOT FOR POKING HOLES IN PAPER:::::::::IT'S FOR FREEDOM FROM TYRANTS!
You can hunt with a hamburger and a baseball bat or a hole in the ground!

True. There are 102 counties in Illinois. Brady won 99, Quinn won Cook, and two downstate.
Anti-Christ's are everywhere!! I thought there was supposed to be only one?
quinn is just another idiot in a long list from IL.If we as a people don't stop electing and re-electing these assholes we are going to wake up one morning with a full blown revolution outside our doors.It's getting to the point that it's not even funny anymore,just listen to the people from Statten NYC.
Whatever we do , do not let lisa madigan get in any other office.It's a quinn w/a brain.
WE will continue to have a democrat governor until the Republican party ceases to identify itself with issues that don't matter to the general public. Such as abortion , gay marriage and the like. Brady should have won in a landside, but no he thought the vast majority of voters were incensed about those issues. Here is a clue Republicans, the governors seat is yours for the taking, the issues are the economy and the level of corruption in this the most awful state,county and city in the U.S. Run someone who is not tied to the past someone who can be inclusive and not exclusive!
The ham sandwich would make better decisions.
Ahhh remember when the governors were Republican?
But it okay for JJjr to collect a disability pension for his depression. How fucked up is that?
I hope people remember Lisa's relationship with convicted felon Martin O'Shields, Leroy's son.
Quinn won't lose. The democrat machine will "fix" that!
