Dem Insiders: Signs Point to Rahm Run
Politico reports:
Democratic insiders say the polling looks good for White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel's prospective Chicago mayoral bid, and sources say he has all but decided to jump into the race.
"I know he has asked a few people to help on the campaign," said one Democratic insider. "I wouldn't say definite yet, but all the signs are pointing" to Emanuel's running.
That same source said results of a poll conducted by Stan Greenberg were "very positive."
However, another Democratic insider noted that the results weren't overwhelming.
They "came back solid but not so strong as to scare away everybody," he said.
No one Politico spoke with was able to provide actual numbers, and Emanuel's spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But whether Emanuel has strong polling or is simply putting out that message, Democrats say the survey is yet another data point creating the expectation that he will run.
