Polls, polls, let’s look at more polls

Expelled state representative leads big time

I have two poll results to tell you about today. One is about an alleged criminal, the other is about a proven liar.

Expelled state Rep. Derrick Smith, D-Chicago, is leading his only opponent by 38 points and is close to the 50 percent he’ll need to reclaim his seat.

According to a poll of 556 likely voters conducted Sept. 12 by We Ask America, Smith is crushing third-party candidate Lance Tyson, 48-9. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.15 percent.
