Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: Svensson on April 28, 2012, 03:29:02 AM ...WHAT.
Is, uh...is this a reputable polling firm? Because if it is: WHAT. Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: morgieb on April 28, 2012, 03:42:10 AM Isn't this an internal?
Still, given the same poll had Romney up by 19...this could actually be closer than what people are saying. Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: Napoleon on April 28, 2012, 06:13:39 AM Berg is far to the right, you know.
Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on April 28, 2012, 06:57:41 AM Damn, I knew they should have ran Wayne Stenejhem. This would be a blowout if it was him instead.
Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: Seattle on April 28, 2012, 12:35:30 PM Junk poll?
Anyway, I've never thought this election would turn into blowout for Berg. Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: tmthforu94 on April 28, 2012, 05:26:02 PM R+1!! :)
Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: Meeker on April 28, 2012, 08:25:46 PM Berg paid for an internal poll in Q1 that he never released. Pretty telling.
Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: Vosem on April 28, 2012, 08:53:22 PM Berg paid for an internal poll in Q1 that he never released. Pretty telling. I believe there've been some scandals about Berg; one poll from a questionable source doesn't prove anything, but Heitkamp could well be ahead. I wonder if there could be an upset in the primary - perennial candidate Duane Sand is running against Berg, and, while he's never been elected, I seem to recall polling that showed NoDaks had a pretty positive opinion of him. It wouldn't surprise me if Sand was actually a stronger candidate than Berg. Perennial candidates do break through sometimes - that's how Bernie Sanders got his start, back in the '70s.

Hoeven-R coattails plus Teaparty wave helped Berg-R unseat Pomeroy-D in the at-Large US House Seat. Who would the Republicans run had Pomeroy-D survived the 2010 wave. Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: The Professor on April 28, 2012, 10:50:52 PM Why are you all surprised? I warned you all about this months ago.
Heidi Heitkamp is probably the single most popular and beautiful politician in all of South Dakota. I will be floored if she loses. Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: FloridaRepublican on April 29, 2012, 06:30:55 AM I feel like it's much closer than this. Outlier probably.
Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: Niemeyerite on April 29, 2012, 08:09:21 AM Why are you all surprised? I warned you all about this months ago. Heidi Heitkamp is probably the single most popular and beautiful politician in all of South Dakota. I will be floored if she loses. But she's from ND. People in SD probably don't know her, so I won't be floored if she runs for something in SD and loses ;) Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: Small Business Owner of Any Repute on May 01, 2012, 11:09:50 AM Berg paid for an internal poll in Q1 that he never released. Pretty telling. Most internal polls are not released to the public. Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: Associate Justice PiT on May 10, 2012, 03:56:13 AM Berg paid for an internal poll in Q1 that he never released. Pretty telling. Most internal polls are not released to the public. Indeed, politicians have accurate internals that they keep to themselves & internals with a narrative that they release to get money from donors. People don't think that they relied on PPP for the state of the race, do they? ;) Title: Re: ND: DFM Research: Heitkamp Leads Berg by 5% Post by: Meeker on May 10, 2012, 08:02:14 AM Berg paid for an internal poll in Q1 that he never released. Pretty telling. Most internal polls are not released to the public. If you have an internal poll that shows you ahead in a race where all the public polling has you behind, you're most definitely going to release the topline numbers at least. Especially in a race that people think you should be winning like this one. The fact that these polls have gone unanswered is a clear indicator the Berg internal is saying the same thing.
