I don't see a way Preckwinkle doesn't make the runoff, unfortunately. She's sitting in #1 right now, even if she falls it will only be to #2 position and then she still makes the runoff. Unless more scandal comes out... she has a very solid base that isn't gonna change their minds before the election.
There's still a lot of undecideds, but with such a large and confusing array of candidates and relatively minor differences between them, many of the undecideds will stay home for the first election and wait until the runoff narrows the field to two candidates that are easy to compare. Also it's Chicago, so the weather on election day is always a huge factor in determining whether undecideds and lukewarm supporters show up at the polls.
