the Marist polls you are referring to; they are not great -- but not that different from many other polls which may be accurate but most likely are not, since the likely voters screen is so tight. I do not believe that Murray, for example, is only up by 1 point. Much more reliable polls in the past two days have her by more than 5 points up. If they are wrong about her, they are probably wrong about everyone else. But my main point is -- why post this? It's not at all informative. If you have an anxiety attack, maybe you can find a better way to cope with it next time than start a vague, fear-inducing thread?

3. The polls are meaningless, |
|
years ago they might have been useful for something, but now the republikkkans just use them to depress the vote!

4. I guess you should just give up. I mean, who needs the Election, look at the polls. |

8. I was defending myself from the implication I was too discouraged to vote |
|
Anybody that votes or doesn't vote based on polls is a fool, imho.
If that was the case I could have skipped several elections.

9. What are the latest batch of polls? |
|
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 01:58 PM by Imajika
I am a poll junkie, is there anything new out? I was expecting to see some PPP polls today but nothing yet that I've seen.
Edited to add a bit of good news. Saw Charlie Cook on MSNBC an hour or so ago and he said he will probably pull back on GOP gains in the Senate. He has 7-9 gains for them now and will probably pull back to at least 6-8. He pointed out that Republicans are struggling in many of these statewide races - both Senate seats and Governor mansions.
