The Chicago mayoral runoff election is around the corner and Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas will hit the campaign trail as a poll shows a dead heat.
According to the poll just over 9-and-a-half percent of voters are still undecided.The margin of error makes this tight mayor's race a statistical tie.
"I'm not going to comment on the polls other than to say we're right on target," Vallas said. "We have confidence in our message and we have confidence that our issues are resonating. We feel that we are going to do well." Johnson's campaign issued a statement, saying in part, "We're gratified by the extraordinary momentum building behind our multicultural, multigenerational campaign, and we look forward to making that vision a reality on April 4th."Vallas previously had a six point lead over Johnson earlier this month.
That polling also shows two key groups, Hispanics and Lakefront voters are still split between the two candidates, which could very well decide who is elected mayor.
