ANALYSIS
The only question remaining in the Mayors race is whether Rahm Emanuel will achieve the allimportant 50%+1 on Tuesday, February 24th. Statistically, the result is within the margin of error so it is
too close to call.
The turnout in the 50 Ward Aldermanic races will be a major influence on the Mayors race.

METHODOLOGY
Ogden & Fry strives to increase the accuracy of political polling by measuring voters most likely to vote
based on voter history. Voting is a socialized behavior with predictable reliability and consistency.
Ogden & Fry maintains a database with 20 years of voting history. For a Municipal Election poll, 60% of
the sampled population voted in 3 of the last 3 elections, 30% voted in 2 of the last 3 elections, and 10%
voted in 1 of the last 3 elections. This 60/30/10 ratio reflects Municipal Election voting patterns
