Is it me or do the Democrats poll better at the weekends?

[minionofmidas]

It's you. You poll better on weekends.

Touche.

Isn't this poll notoriously bad?

Yes, that's why it goes in the database.

La times needs to stop polling.

The rag doesn't seem to do anything well, anymore. It had an editorial, saying we needed to spend more stimulus money. That was it. Zero analysis, just an opinion and that was it, as if because it was their opinion, it has some inherent value or something. The paper is a shell of its former self, retaining only its reflexively left wing bias.

PPP will be showing big leads for Boxer and Brown, too.  And they will also show that more Republcans are voting for Boxer/Brown than Dems for Fiorina/Whitman.

If there was a wave building, wouldn't it hit CA?

You do realize California is a D+7 state, right?  How many D+7 Congressional districts do you expect Republicans to win this cycle?

[Whacker77]

I'm not saying Whitman and Fiorina will win, but I don't buy the idea more Republicans are crossing over to vote for Brown and Boxer than vice versa.  Sorry.  PPP has been very good with their primary polling, but I don't buy that nugget of info.

IMO, if this was a "wave" election, the GOP would win WA or CA, and they will lose both.  I'm still waiting for a new poll to come out favorable for the GOP Senate candidate that makes you sit up and take notice.

I would say likely winning six Democrat seats with the possibility of seven, eight, or nine constitutes a wave.  We've seen this coming since the winter.  This been an early wave as opposed to 1980 that was a late wave.

IMO, six seats would be a huge disappointment in this political climate.  I think the Dems gladly take that number if they could do so in advance.

If it's so left-wing, then how come it endorsed an anti-union Proposition that failed?

will you please stop crying

Fiorina still has a good shot at winning. The LA Times poll I think overestimates Democrat turnout this year. Brown doesn't have a double digit lead, and if he does, all reasonable Californians should be very afraid.

Why? It's not as if Whitman is any more serious about pension reform than Brown is. And I don't really buy all that crap about Brown being bought by the unions. If anything, it looks like the police unions bought Whitman (or was it the other way round?).
