Via Chicagoist
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Cook County commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia are statistically tied in new polls conducted days after last week’s mayoral election.
The latest surveys from Ogden & Fry show Emanuel holding a slight edge over Garcia. Friday’s poll of 979 likely voters found 42.9 percent supported Mayor Emanuel to 38.5 percent for Garcia and 18.6% were undecided. A poll conducted on 1,058 registered voters Wednesday showed Emanuel leading Garcia 42.7 percent to 38.7 percent. Friday’s poll had a margin of error of 3.2 percent while Wednesday’s margin of error was 3.07 percent.
Both candidates have a way to go to sway undecided voters. Both polls indicated 18.6 percent of respondents were undecided on who they would vote for April 7.
