On August 21, NBC News/Marist released a poll for the Illinois gubernatorial race. It shows that the Libertarian nominee is at 6%, and Conservative Party nominee Sam McCann is at 4%.
If either of them polls 5%, their party will become ballot-qualified
for all offices, for four years. The only two parties that have enjoyed
that status in the last 80 years are the Illinois Solidarity Party
1986-1990, and the Green Party 2006-2010. Prior to 1931, the vote test
was 2%, not 5%. Governor is the only race that counts, for a party to
be ballot-qualified for all office. Thanks to Political Wire for the
