Post by: ekg on March 20, 2012, 10:08:46 pm Quote Voter Turnout Extremely Low For Illinois Primary http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/03/20/voter-turnout-extremely-low-for-illinois-primary/ CHICAGO (CBS) — Turnout for Tuesday’s Illinois primary in Chicago was a meager 24 percent, officials said.

That's been the norm (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0112/71245.html) for most of the primaries so far. Quote Republican voters are still just not that into their presidential options. More than four out of 10, or 44 percent, said the field is fair or poor, while 51 percent of Republican and GOP-leaning voters said the candidates are excellent or good, according to a Pew Research Center poll released Monday. Remember when the pubs were enthusiastic about voting Obama out? See my sig? |
