Below find the results of the Temkin/Harris poll in partnership with WTTW News and Crain’s Chicago Business.

This is a telephone survey among 500 registered voters in Chicago who are likely to vote in the April 2019 mayoral runoff election. The survey was conducted March 18-20, 2019 by Normington, Petts & Associates.

All polls are subject to errors caused by interviewing a sample of persons, rather than the entire population. In 95 cases out of 100, the responses to this survey should fall with ±4.4 percentage points of those what would have been obtained from interviewing the entire population of registered Chicago voters.
