How the hell did this happen?  Fogarty was leading three weeks ago and now he's down 16?

This is the only poll out of M-D's new batch that makes very little sense to me. If its true, it makes me a little worried about the Senate race.

Brown University had Carcieri winning by 12 pts.

Brown University had Carcieri winning by 12 pts.

That was a uni poll. It should be trashed.

This is the only poll out of M-D's new batch that makes very little sense to me. If its true, it makes me a little worried about the Senate race.

Possibly a 1 in 20. Even then, it's still enough for me to flip this race for now.

A slim chance and 3 polls have had Carcieri winning and  every poll outside of Rasmussen had Carcieri up, I don't know about that? Rasmussen had him up, and not every Univ poll is not accurate.

Quinnipiac is the only good uni poll. All others should be trashed.

But Survey USA poll had Carcieri, like I said every poll outside of Rasmussen has had Carcieri up.

Rhode Island polling is simply terrible most of the time.  In fact, I don't know whether we really have anything to compare to here (except maybe Rasmussen), since the SUSA poll of over a month ago is really stale.

We should thank M-D for coming to our aid here, even if it's a 1 in 20 situation.  Hopefully, they poll these races again.
