Wow they are out already? So much for the Burns comeback (unless this is way,way off)!

[So the Heroes Fall]

See Gallup's last 2004 polls.

Yeah. These go in the trash. We have Mason-Dixon for state level polling.

I dont know, Mason-Dixon has seemed a little random in their polling on a number of races recently

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

With possible exceptions of TN (which we all heard about already) and maybe MT, none of these seem too far off the mark...but it is true that they blew most of the state polling in 2004 (although the states they blew it in were very close anyway).

So....

McCaskill +4
Tester +9
Menendez +10
Whitehouse +3
Corker +3
Allen +3

?

I guess they aren't ridiculous.

The Montana result clearly contradicts Rasmussen, Zogby and Mason-Dixon.

But the result in Missouri looks pretty good. It's about the same as M-D, Rasmussen, Zogby, and Survey USA.

The Tennessee race is looking more like maybe Mason-Dixon is the outfit with the wrong result here, since Gallup shows it closer (and Rasmussen has shown 4 points of tightening)

Virginia's result looks a bit more out there. Clearly M-D, Zogby, and Rasmussen are in close agreement. I'd like to see what SurveyUSA has to say here. If they have Webb up I think that shows he clearly has a bit of a lead (and definitely the momentum). But if they show Allen up, that throws the contest into a lot more doubt, becuase you'd have good pollsters lined up on both sides.

I personally think Gallup's NJ result looks good when compared to others.

Rhode Island I'm less sure of. Mason-Dixon still looks a bit out there, but Gallup definitely is showing tightening, too.

So they didn't poll Maryland? That sucks.

LV:

MT Tester leads 50-41
NJ Menendez leads 50-40
RI Whitehouse leads 48-45
TN Corker leads 49-46
VA Allen leads 49-46
MO McCaskill leads 49-45

RV:

MT Tester leads 48-45
NJ Menendez leads 44-35
RI Whitehouse leads 49-37
TN Corker leads 43-40
VA Tied 42-42
MO McCaskill leads 46-39

MT MO NJ and RI are looking good.
TN - Maybe Ford still has a chance
VA - This poll isn't so great, but high turnout would be good for Webb.

Wow...even worse than I had remembered. The WI one is quite pathetic. Zogby-like even.

I think OH and PA are the worst.  I mean, no one expects anyone except for M-D to poll Florida correctly, so a bad result is ok there and Wisconsin is about as difficult, but outside MOE with wrong winner in two "very easy-to-poll states" like OH and PA.  Pathetic.

Hey, maybe they'll do better this year...

I hope so.
