Miller: Lisa Madigan towers over Quinn in poll

You probably won’t be surprised to learn that a poll taken Jan. 30 of 1,255 likely Illinois Democratic primary voters shows Attorney General Lisa Madigan leading Gov. Pat Quinn by a very large margin.

Madigan also leads Quinn and former White House chief of staff Bill Daley in a three-way contest, according to the poll, but Quinn leads Daley in a one-on-one race. And a large plurality of Democrats disapprove of the governor’s job performance. The We Ask America Poll has a margin of error of plus-minus 3 percentage points. About 18 percent of the results came from mobile phone users.

In the poll, Madigan leads Quinn by 25 points, 50.5 to 25.7. Among women, who almost always make up a majority of Democratic primary votes, Madigan’s lead is 53-22, while she leads among men 46-30.
