LOL ras he gos from a huge Thompson lead last month to the race in margin of error territory now. What a great pollster he is.

So we go from Thompson +14 to Thompson +4 within a span of a few weeks without any major campaign news.

Very convincing....

I would rather see a Republican primary poll then a general election that we all now will be really close.

So we go from Thompson +14 to Thompson +4 within a span of a few weeks without any major campaign news.

Very convincing....

And against Neumann she goes from -9 to +8, a 17 point swing.
Joke pollster.

Thompson-R is a overhyped Republican candidate. The last time he ran and won statewide elected office in WI was back in 1998. It was against a weaker Democratic opponent. Since then, He served as GWB HHS Secretary, made a failed Presidential run in 2008.
