3 new polls out showing Strickland within 1-2 points, so (R)asmussen has a new poll disputing it

[WI_DEM]

three polls out yesterday showing Strickland in a deadheat:

CBS/Times 9/23-27/10 941 LV 43 42 2 11 2 +1R
FOX 9/25/10 1000 LV 45 43 2 10 - +2R
Ipsos/Reuters 9/23-25/10 530 LV 47 46 - - - +1R

So of course here comes (R)asmussen showing a different trend:

Republican John Kasich now holds an eight-point lead over Democratic incumbent Ted Strickland in Ohio’s gubernatorial race.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Kasich picking up 50% of the vote, while Strickland draws support from 42% with leaners are included Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.

1. "...statewide telephone survey..."

That's probably land-line only. It's biased against those under 30.

2. I would say that given 4 polls of which 3 show essentially the same thing

that Ras is the outliar of the bunch. Ohio governor is definitely getting tighter.

no one I know has been polled .... so alot of it depends on the criteria being used ..... and yes
