Many Illinois Voters Say Blagojevich Deals Typical of Pols

| | Comments (0)

This won't surprise anyone, (we think). Eighty-four percent of Illinois voters said Gov. Rod Blagojevich should resign, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Dec. 10. There were 9 percent who said he shouldn't. However, 53 percent said they thought it was not very likely or not likely at all that Blagojevich would do that. Seventy-nine percent said he should go to jail.

Fifty-nine percent said Blagojevich is less ethical than most politicians while 31 percent said he was about as ethical as others. Four percent said they thought he was more ethical.

Thirty-nine percent said Blagojevich's attempt to get large campaign contributions in exchange for favors were pretty typical of the way most politicians operate while 35 percent said it was not, and 26 percent said they were not sure.

Twenty-six percent of those polled said that it was very or somewhat likely that Barack Obama was involved in the corruption case, as opposed to 69 percent who did not find that likely. Rasmussen didn't specify what constituted involvement in its survey.
