Is they usually break 2-to-1 for the challenger, will that be the case this year?
I think it is reasonable to wager that Fincher is around 50%. Unfortunately I expect Herron is going to need a lot of effort and luck to get near 45% on election day and avoid an absolutely crushing defeat. Herron got the best scenario possible with Fincher and was still too inept to make it competitive in the homestretch.
Dingell is strong.
I know anecdotal evidence isn’t worth much, but I have a sister who works with a bunch of people who have worked with Rob Steele. None of them are voting for him.
I’m looking forward to finding out what else “POS” stands for on Nov. 2.
POS has a pretty good reputation when polling for other clients, but why have their NRCC polls been so off at times? I have a hard time believing this seat is on the verge of going Red.
Senate mirrors SurveyUSA: 47% Buck, 47% Bennet. 45% of the undecided are Republicans; undecideds also back Tancredo 53%-23%.
Governor: 47% Hickenlooper, 44% Tancredo, 5% Maes.

I’m really beginning to think that most GOP internal polling this year is nothing more than a head fake and should be dismissed as garbage …
It’s a Republican poll, granted, but his numbers are falling into line with e.g. Alan Boyd’s next door.
A lot of the Blue Dog archipelago in the Deep South is sinking into the sea of Red this election. Bobbie Bright, Gene Taylor, and Mike Ross could be the sole survivors in Red districts.
That’s a pretty weak internal for Griffin to release. You’re supposed to win this by 15-20 points, why release a poll showing you’re up on 12 and your opponent has gained 4 points? What was he trying to accomplish by releasing that?
Also, I remember that StephenCLE predicited a long, long time ago that Chellie Pingree could be upset this year. Well, here we are, 8 days away from the election, and she leads by only 45-40 in a non-partisan poll. Good work, Stephen!
40-40.

Is that an error on SSP’s part, or are PoS trying to tap into an anti-incumbent sentiment?
Not that it matters, as they’re aptly acronymised.
