Title: DFM Research: Heitkamp up 6 in North Dakota
Post by: morgieb on July 27, 2012, 07:36:11 PM
Yes it's an internal, but their Presidential numbers make sense.

Heitkamp: 50%
Berg: 44%

Seems about right, though I think it's a tossup at the moment.

So it should still be about tied if this is an internal.

Since when do we enter internals?

I think this race is going to be a lot closer than people thought at the beginning of the cycle. Heitkamp has a very good shot at winning this, as polling over the past few months has made clear.

Looks about 50/50 to me; the polling average on RCP says Berg has a narrow lead, which feels right. I honestly wouldn't mind if Heitkamp defeated Berg in a regular year, because she sounds like a better candidate, but 2012 where every Senate seat is decisive is forcing me to root for Berg.

This was suppose to be a lean pickup by the GOP this year. This spells good news for 2014 if Johnson steps down and Heaseth Sandler decides to run.

Be careful what you wish for.  The R's have a superstar waiting in the wings.

Ask Inks.  He entered a poll by them in this same race back in April.  They polled the Presidential race in the same poll, and those numbers are about what one would expect.  My major concern with it is that they polled only landlines, which typically skews the results to be older and Republicaner.  That might not be the case in North Dakota, as I'd expect those who come to the state for the fracking jobs to skew Republican and lack landlines, so if they have been registering...

Does seem to be an outlier, but with enough there to cause me to shift my prediction from Lean R to Tossup R.  I'll need far more than this poll to convince me to put the state in the D column.
