any polling data on the Illinois Senate race?

Tammy Duckworth has been in the background for a bit. Pity, some of Rauner's talks (out of one side of his mouth in Chicago, out of the other downstate) should give her fodder for free press.

Kirk made a big splash with his post-support of Trump with his refusal to support him.

One thing Trump has taught us, the media is like a school of dumb fish. Flash a shiny object in front of them, and they dash for it, ignoring everything else.

I have been getting intermittent polling type calls that are obviously commissioned by Kirk's camp. One was an over-the-top obvious push poll, the most recent a more conventional poll -with the most telling (to me) question: would I be more or less likely to vote for Mark Kirk if he supported Donald Trump {insert violent hairball gagging noise here}.
