Kinda debunks that PPP fap-a-thon from yesterday.

Still some work to do but encouraging nonetheless. Hopefully the movement continues once GE $$$ is unlocked.

Funny story I actually had Charles Franklin, the guy talking on the right there in the live feed, as a professor at UW-Madison a couple years ago before he went to Marquette to do polling. I guess UW wouldn't give him all the information that he wanted in order to do polling so he switched schools. He wasn't the best professor in the world but the results of these polls have been good.

Absolutely no doubt that Romney got a big boost in WI by picking a hometown guy for VP.  So take whatever bump a challenger usually gets when they select their running mate and add on a few points. 

Effectively, the race is tied at the height of the Ryan bounce.  I'm somewhat pleased as a Democrat, but a few other polls out have shown an across the board cooling for Obama.  He needs to start getting his face out there to make sure the bounce isn't permanent, because this whole thing seems to be about Romney/Ryan right now and that's not going to be a winning formula.

I think it's more about Todd Akin than anything.

Why would you think something that is very clearly not true?

Kinda debunks that PPP fap-a-thon from yesterday.

One poll does not debunk another. Especially considering this poll shows a bigger Republican lead in the Senate race than PPP, and considering PPP usually tilts a little Democratic. A Republican lead makes sense in Wisconsin, considering the popular Republican Governor there. What you need to debunk is another respectable poll confirming Marquette's findings.

Oh c'mon.  How many people do you really think switched from Romney to Obama over something TODD AKIN said.  What is your reasoning for this assertion?

You won't get an explanation. It's Bandit.
