The Harper Polling IVR (auto-dial) survey of likely voters found a very competitive rematch. The survey was conducted from June 24-25, 2014, and the margin of error is +/-4.9%.

Among the key findings of the survey:

• This is a Margin-of-Error Race (Dold Leads Schneider 42-39%) and Schneider Has Low Incumbent Approval (28% Job Approval)

• Political Party Brand Challenges Reflected in Obama, Quinn and Pelosi Numbers

• Obamacare’s Medicare Advantage Cuts and Schneider’s Business/Tax Record Are Large Concerns to Voters

View the polling results and memo below. In 2012, AAN's sister organization, Congressional Leadership Fund super PAC, spent $830,000 in independent expenditures in the IL-10 general election.
