Polling Numbers Show Weller Extremely Vulnerable to Pavich Campaign Add to Hotlist

Hey Folks. There's a great chance to pick up a seat in Illinois-11. A commended CIA Counter-Terrorism officer, John Pavich, is running against a weak incumbent in Jerry Weller.

Last month, the Pavich Campaign commissioned a poll of the district to survey voters of the 11th about the race. The numbers are in--and they spell trouble for Jerry Weller. These numbers confirm what John has been hearing around the district: Voters in the 11th are ready for change, and John is the right man to lead them in a new direction.

The poll of likely voters in Illinois-11 shows the following:

-In a head to head match up that provides positive descriptions of both candidates, as they would describe themselves, John takes a commanding 15-point lead over Weller, 51% to 36%.

-The critical number for incumbents is a re-elect number over 55%. Weller fails to meet this mark, securing only 46% of the district's initial approval.

-When likely voters hear about John, his background, accomplishments, and plan to change the direction of our country, they choose John over Weller 55% to 27%.

As more Democrats move into the 11th, this poll confirms what we know to be true--Illinois-11 will be in-play and very winnable in November. John has done better than any candidate before him in winning over voters and the press. His strong fundraising against a 12-year incumbent shows what people around the district think of their current representation. With enough support, we can change this part of Illinois from red to blue, and help change the direction of our country.

And, in case you don't know much about the race, John, or Jerry Weller, please check out this post:
