    The 2006 Illinois General Election A Vote Analysis I. Statewide Turnout by Region II. Illinois Governor III. Cook County Board President Roosevelt University Institute for Politics 430 South Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60605 Paul M. Green, Director January – 2007 Research Assistance Ms. Jearlean Fleming Ms. Rose Sanchez This report is a non-partisan analysis of the 2006 Illinois General Election. It is produced by the Institute for Politics at Roosevelt University – in cooperation with the Illinois State Board of Elections and is funded in part with a grant from AT&T Illinois – its author is Institute Director, Paul Green. Comments on this material are welcomed – email [email protected] or fax 312-341-4325. 1 I 2006 General Election: Illinois Turnout There is an old Chicago political adage, “If you don’t vote – you don’t count.” In the 2006 mid-term elections less than 50% of registered Illinois voters went to the polls – thus in effect giving those individuals who did vote over twice as much power to pick the state’s leaders. Overall the total 2006 turnout was 65,516 votes less than in 2002 (See Table I). Also continuing an ongoing demographic shift – only the five collar counties (DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will) voting region saw an increase in voter turnout while the other three regions experienced a vote decrease. Percentage-wise the five collars constituted nearly one-fourth of the Illinois vote – this collar county statewide vote percentage gain came mainly at the expense of Chicago. The state’s biggest city voted less than 19% of the statewide vote which a generation ago would have meant big trouble for Illinois Democrats.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 30, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Brady Still Up On Quinn But By Narrower Margin Raleigh, N.C. – In the shadow of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s trials and tribulations, Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Brady maintains his small but persistent lead over Blago’s successor and former lieutenant governor, Democrat Pat Quinn. Brady tops Quinn, 42-35, among likely voters, with independent Scott Lee Cohen and Libertarian Lex Green, both measured for the first time, at 6% and 2%, respectively, and Green Party nominee Rich Whitney at 4%. In August, Brady led Quinn and Whitney, 39-30-11. Democrats are three times as likely to be undecided and more than twice as likely to support one of the third-party candidates as Republicans are. As such, Brady pulls 83% of Republicans to Quinn’s 62% of Democrats. Quinn has managed to narrow the score among independents, trailing Brady now only 39-27, versus 40-15 a month and a half ago. Whitney is down to 8% of unaffiliateds, after having outranked Quinn at 19% last time. Those who had been leaning toward the Green Party nominee seem to be coming home to Quinn, as Whitney is also down to 3% of Democrats, from 10% in August. Voters have soured even further on Quinn’s job performance over his already dismal 23- 53 figure in August. He now posts a 24-60 approval rating, tying him for the fifth least popular governor of 30 PPP has polled on this year.

  • The Simon Review

    The Simon Review The 2010 Elections: Illinois Still Blue Despite the Red Wave that Swept the Nation By John S. Jackson Professor of Political Science Emeritus and Visiting Professor A Publication of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute Southern Illinois University Carbondale Paper #22 January 2011 Author’s Note: The author would like to thank Cary Bryant, Research Assistant at the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute for her crucial help in assembling the maps used in this paper. 1 The 2010 Elections: Illinois Still Blue Despite the Red Wave that Swept the Nation Introduction Illinois experienced two extraordinarily close elections at the top of the ticket on November 2, 2010. In a race with national interest and implications five-term Republican Congressman Mark Kirk bested Democratic State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias by a narrow margin after a very competitive race. Congressman Kirk became Senator Kirk on November 29th, 2010 replacing Senator Roland Burris, a Democrat who had been appointed to replace then Senator Barack Obama when he became president. Procedurally it was a very unusual election where Illinois voters were asked to vote twice in the Senate race, once to fill the last few weeks of the unexpired Obama term and another race to fill the new six year term which will start with the rest of the newly elected senators in January of 2011. Despite the possibility of great confusion over these two votes and even the potential for two different winners, the race went smoothly and the results were clear when Kirk won both elections. It was a race which both parties desperately wanted to win and one in which millions of dollars were spent by the national parties and external interest groups trying to influence the outcome in Illinois and the overall party control numbers in the U.
