Gov. Pat Quinn may have an advantage over his opponent when it comes to political savvy, but it’s Republican Bruce Rauner’s business background that’s resonating with voters, a new Early & Often/We Ask America poll suggests.

5. Well that's good...

" "41 percent chose having business experience as most important" in a gubernatorial candidate."
