INTERNAL POLL DUMP (PUT ALL INTERNAL HOUSE POLLS HERE)

[Tender Branson]

Dan Benishek (R) seems to pick up a seat:

54% - Dan Benishek (R)
31% - Gary McDowell (D)

The poll, commissioned by Benishek's campaign and executed by Washington-based GOP polling firm TargetPoint Consulting (a favorite of the Bush II administration), has a 5.7 percent margin of error.

Tied even after ginning up 5% for an independent candidate that I had to look up? Bye, Betsy. Thanks for getting rid of Marilyn Musgrave.

AZ-5 is gone for the Dems. I listened to the GOP candidate today. He was quite good, and the Dem voted for Obamacare after saying he would not. He's done.

Patrick Murphy/PA-08:

Patrick Murphy (D) - 47
Mike Fitzpatrick (R) - 43

Mike Fitzpatrick (R) - 48
Patrick Murphy (D) - 41

Patrick Murphy/PA-08:

Patrick Murphy (D) - 47
Mike Fitzpatrick (R) - 43

In response to this one for Fitzpatrick:

Mike Fitzpatrick (R) - 48
Patrick Murphy (D) - 41

I rather liked Fitzpatrick. Good to see he'll be returning to congress.

[Torie]

These polls are a month old (well a month for Murphy, and three weeks old for Fitz).  A lot has happened since then.

Boren can also lean back and chill:

Rep. Dan Boren, who holds one of the best performing districts for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) still represented by a Democrat, led his Republican opponent by 34 points in a new poll funded by his campaign.

The poll showed Boren ahead of Republican Charles Thompson, a veterinarian and Iraq War veteran, 65 percent to 31 percent. Myers Research and Strategic Services conducted the poll from Sept. 7-8, interviewing 400 likely voters over the phone. The poll had a margin of error of 4.9 points.

     If voters really cared about how the candidates sounded, Jan Brewer would be doing far worse than she is. At any rate, Schweikert is polling fairly well, but I think it is far too early to pronounce AZ-05 as gone for the Democrats.

What is going on in NM-2?  Is Pearce a suck candidate or something?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Teague is leading by 7 in a Dem internal? This could be signalling movement back to Pearce. It could also be signalling nothing, but it's still interesting.

Good point; the last poll showing Teague up by a similar amount was an independent poll, wasn't it?

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Good Lord, you people are lazy. It's on the first page!

He was up 45-42.

     Journal Poll isn't a familiar name to me. Are they any good?

Pearce left this district to run for the Senate in 2008 where he got beat badly. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Teague voted against health care and isn't exactly a weak candidate either.

Not bad historically, though they don't push the leaners.  Of course, New Mexico polling in summer (or anytime actually) is always a crap shoot.

There've been some pretty rough attack ads run against Pearce recently as well.

Saying what?  What is the angle being used to trash him?

I've seen some environmental ads from environmentalist groups that weren't bad.

That's the one.

[Capitan Zapp Brannigan]

It is a very good ad.

[Torie]

The sale of a business for twice its value to someone for whom he does favors, sounds like a crime to me. But yes, unless Peace can refute it, it is pretty devastating. Heck, without knowing more, I could not vote for him. Personal ethics means a lot to me.
