1. Third-party candidates usually do better in polling than in practice. |
|
Let's hope that's the case here.

3. Translation: statistical dead heat (maybe Giannoulis is a little ahead) |
|
Always add +5 to the Democrat in a Rasmussen poll.
So Obama is at 58% approval in Illinois.

4. Not much more than "noise" |
|
A continued close race where Rasmussen provides most of the polling (usually with a slight Kirk lead), while the other firms show the race essentially tied.
