. . . in Public Policy poll:

CHICAGO – According the latest poll from the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican businessman Bruce Rauner are in a statistical dead heat as the campaign enters the final weeks.

Rauner held a slim lead among voters likely to cast ballots on Nov. 4, with 42.4 percent to Quinn’s 40.7 percent — within the survey’s margin of error, according to the statewide poll. Libertarian Chad Grimm had 3 percent.

With Sun-Times about to endorse Rauner . . .
