Home U.S. World Entertainment Sports Business Health Science Technology Politics Offbeat Environment Travel Polls say Emanuel in lead as voting begins for Chicago mayor Status as the front runner comes despite more than two dozen objections to his candidacy over the issue of his residency. Source: AHN Reporter: Kris Alingod Location: Chicago, IL, United States Published: February 22, 2011 8:56 a.m. EST Topics: Government, Politics, Public Officials, Local Elections, Election Voting in Chicago's mayoral race has begun, with the Daley name absent in ballots for the first time in decades. Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is expected to win, and the question is if his victory will be enough to avoid a runoff. About half of the city's 1.4 million voters are expected to head to polls. Early voting began in late January and ended last week. Emanuel has led polls since Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart took himself out of contention last fall. In recent weeks, the former presidential aide has topped 50 percent, the threshold required to avoid a runoff on April 5. His closest rival, former City Colleges Board chair Gery Chico, is seeking the opposite, launching a "kickoff to the runoff" a day before election. Chico, who trails the front runner by 34 points in the last We Ask America poll, took to the trains in the final hours of his candidacy to "speak to our working men and women." A former chief of staff of retiring Mayor Richard Daley who has the endorsement of the police union, Chico has help from four other candidates in the race in his bid for the no. 2 spot. Appealing for the black vote, former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun, the so-called consensus candidate of the African-American community, had the Rev. Jesse Jackson by her side to make her case during a get-out-the-vote rally. She is also counting on the support of female voters. She received the endorsement of the National Women's Political Caucus on Monday. An ambassador to New Zealand during the Clinton administration, Braun was in the second spot in polls after other black candidates withdrew to consolidate support for her. But her poll numbers have dipped significantly while negative perceptions among voters have risen. She came under fire last month for bringing back the issue of Monica Lewinsky to criticize former President Bill Clinton for endorsing Emanuel. Later, she argued heatedly on television with the only other black candidate in the race, community activist Patricia Van Pelt Watkins, by calling Watkins a "crack addict." The first black woman to be elected to the U.S. Senate, Braun has dismissed surveys by citing pollster Rod McCulloch's words to "hold off on the Rahm Coronation." McCulloch conducted a poll for Braun that found Emanuel below the 50 threshold mark and the former senator trailing in second place at 22 percent. Emanuel's status as the front runner comes despite more than two dozen objections to his candidacy over the issue of his residency, an issue settled by the Illinois Supreme Court only days before early voting began. A former congressman who represented the city, Emanuel has likewise faced questions about his time as a board member at Freddie Mac, which was plagued with corruption and eventually put into conservatorship during the subprime mortgage crisis. Watkins is one of three candidates in the race who have consistently polled in single digits. The two others are city clerk Miguel del Valle, a former state senator, and community activist William "Dock" Walls III. Republish Email Facebook Digg Twitter Buzz Up!
