A new poll from the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago NPR member station WBEZ shows downstate state Sen. Darren Bailey with a 15-point lead on Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin in the GOP governor race, a major reversal with 18 days to go before polls close on Tuesday, June 28. Dave McKinney, a political reporter at WBEZ, talked about the poll results and another poll about former President Trump’s popularity among Illinois Republicans.
