<\/a>ILLINOIS 11TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT<\/strong><\/p>

Breaking News!!!<\/em><\/p>

Libertarian Republican has learned that a soon-to-be-released poll conducted Sunday and Monday night by Public Opinion Strategies shows the following:<\/p>

Republican challenger Adam Kinzinger leading freshman Democrat Rep. Debbie Halvorson by a margin of 44%-38%.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Halvorson voted in favor of the health care legislation. This is the first time Kinzinger has been ahead in any polling.<\/p>

An additional finding:<\/p>

Voters in the district are unhappy with the job President Obama is doing, as 45% approve of the job he is doing, and 52% disapprove. Nearly four in ten voters (38%) strongly disapprove of the job the President is doing.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Ken Spain of the NRCC commented on the results:<\/p>

\"If passing a government takeover of healthcare was supposed to solve all of the Democrats’ political problems, then this November is going to come as an horrific surprise. This is a classic swing seat that seemed to have trended away from Republicans in 2008 and was compounded by the fact that Illinois’ home state senator was running a winning campaign at the top of the ticket. Clearly, that is not the case any longer.\" <\/p><\/blockquote>

Libertarian Republican featured Kinzinger's campaign back in early February (article<\/a> - A Fierce Fighter for Taxpayer's Rights)<\/p>

Former Libertarian Party of Illinois board member and current Republican Liberty Caucus of IL member Jeff Wartman of Chicago was one of Kinzinger's earliest supporters. In a separate article<\/a> at LR back in July, Wartman noted:<\/p>

I'm working on Adam's campaign and proud to see a pro-defense, pro-freedom candidate enter this race against the nanny-stater and Pelosi-clone Debbie Halvorson. Adam is an Iraq war Veteran and former McLean County Board Member.<\/p>

The fight against the liberal Democrats starts in races like this one, and Adam needs support if he's going to win.<\/p><\/blockquote>
