CHICAGO – The latest polling from Ogden & Fry, a Chicago-based polling firm, found Emanuel with 42.9 percent support compared to Garcia’s 38.5 percent.
About 20 percent of Chicago voters are undecided.
The poll was conducted Saturday and has a margin of error of 3.2 percent, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Garcia is close to Emanuel given the poll’s margin of error, and Ogden & Fry said that Hispanics are under-represented in polling.
As the first Mexican running for Chicago mayor, Garcia has strong support among Hispanics, meaning the poll may be understating his support against Emanuel. “They’re likely dead even,” pollster Tom Swiss told the Sun-Times.
