What's different about the Wisconsin primary? |
|
Edited on Tue Feb-17-04 07:04 AM by spooky3
One difference is polling. Prior to the other primaries, nearly every day, American Research Group, Survey USA, CNN/Gallup, and/or Zogby were updating their polls, so we had some sense (imperfect of course) of trends in the electorate. As far off as some of those data were, at least they beat having some pundit decide for us in advance what voters were thinking, with little or no data. However, for whatever reason, this is NOT occurring for Wisconsin. So it is anyone's guess what the final results will be.

in the polls afaict and there hasn't been the telegenic "drama" to it. DailyKos had Zogby poll results up tonight with Kerry 47%, Dean 23%, Edwards 20%, Kucinich 2%, Sharpton 1%.

2. my point is that there is no way to tell what movement there is. |
|
Zogby's poll is several days out of date (e.g., before the Milwaukee newspaper endorsement of Edwards, and before resolution of the Kerry issue), and Zogby has been unreliable--sometimes close, sometimes way off. The other pollsters have not updated their results in some time, or didn't do earlier WI polls, so we do not have data to compare to see what trends may be out there. This is a big contrast to poll info we had on the prior primaries.

3. Check the local WI papers |
|
Milwaukee: Journal Sentinel http://www.jsonline.com/Local papers tend to have good polls.
