WASHINGTON – A new polling memo from Public Policy Polling shows a two-way race emerging in Democratic Senate primary, with Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton’s message continuing to resonate with voters.

In a 3-way matchup between candidates, 41 percent of voters say they are undecided. After voters learn more about her, Juliana Stratton vaults into the lead with 45 percent. Almost three-fourths of voters (74%) say they are more likely to vote for Stratton after hearing about her, which helps increase her lead in the informed vote. 

“While the Democratic Senate primary remains an open field, Juliana Stratton’s powerful vision for Illinois is moving primary voters in her direction,” said DLGA Executive Director Kevin Holst. “Lt. Governor Stratton has always fought to uplift working and middle-class families, and as she works tirelessly to reach voters across the state, her campaign continues to build the momentum that will carry her to victory.”
