It's probably better to look at the trends and movement of the polls rather than the current numbers.

They should be illegal regardless, but then there would be nothing to talk about.

Compared to what?  Using a mathematical formula based on state fundamentals or something?

Let me put it this way…..if there had been *zero* polls taken in this cycle, would pundits have done a better or worse job of predicting who would win each Senate race than they did IRL?

CT Gov seems to be one race where it was bang on.

Nah, I agree with BeccaM. From now on it seems it's better to focus on long term trends.

At least then we can do a "muh Mark Warner" meme, like the Ken Buck one they did this time.
