Not sure how much I can trust any of these but some interesting ones like VA-4, CO-6, IL-11 that seem odd. Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: KCDem on October 31, 2014, 07:01:25 PM Holy sh*t! Every district!!!!
Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: IceSpear on October 31, 2014, 07:33:10 PM You know, I'm not gonna bash YouGov for this. What little House polls there are usually tend to be junk and/or internals anyway, so I'll take what I can get. I'll sum up the results on relevant districts here:
AK-AL: R+15 AR-02: R+1 AR-04: R+1 AZ-01: Tie AZ-02: Tie AZ-09: D+14 CA-03: D+12 CA-07: R+6 (*GOP PICKUP) CA-09: D+9 CA-10: R+7 CA-21: R+3 CA-24: D+2 CA-26: D+3 CA-31: D+11 (*DEM PICKUP) CA-36: D+4 CA-52: D+9 CO-06: D+3 (*DEM PICKUP) CT-05: D+9 FL-02: R+2 FL-18: D+19 FL-26: D+1 GA-12: D+4 HI-01: D+15 IA-01: D+9 IA-02: D+14 IA-03: Tie IA-04: R+7 IL-08: D+5 IL-10: D+5 IL-11: D+3 IL-12: R+1 (*GOP PICKUP) IL-13: R+5 IN-02: R+16 KS-02: R+8 KS-03: R+11 KY-06: R+12 MA-06: D+4 MA-09: D+15 ME-02: D+3 MI-01: R+4 MI-06: R+17 MI-07: R+11 MI-08: R+9 MI-11: R+5 MN-01: D+11 MN-02: R+14 MN-03: R+11 MN-07: D+2 MN-08: D+5 MT-AL: R+8 NC-02: R+23 NC-07: R+22 (*GOP PICKUP) ND-AL: R+9 NE-02: R+3 NH-01: R+3 (*GOP PICKUP) NH-02: D+3 NJ-03: R+1 NJ-05: R+17 NM-02: R+8 NV-03: R+13 NV-04: D+9 NY-01: R+5 (*GOP PICKUP) NY-11: R+4 NY-18: D+9 NY-19: R+19 NY-21 R+5 (*GOP PICKUP) NY-24: D+6 OH-14: R+17 OR-04: D+13 OR-05: D+10 PA-06: R+6 PA-08: R+25 RI-01: D+19 SD-AL: R+16 TN-04: R+28 TX-23: D+1 UT-04: R+17 (*GOP PICKUP) VA-02: R+16 VA-04: Tie VA-05: R+11 VA-10: R+1 WI-06: R+16 WV-02: R+1 WV-03: R+5 (*GOP PICKUP) Well, that was a lot of work. Giving ties to the incumbent party, the net gain is R+6. Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: Lief 🗽 on October 31, 2014, 07:59:12 PM The margins of error on these are insane.
Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: Fmr President & Senator Polnut on October 31, 2014, 08:07:18 PM 23% MoE ... lol
Constituency-level polling is ALWAYS a nightmare and should not be trusted. Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: Recalcuate on October 31, 2014, 08:56:43 PM 23% MoE ... lol Constituency-level polling is ALWAYS a nightmare and should not be trusted. 17 friends sitting around the table to get the 23% MOE? Wow. Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: KCDem on October 31, 2014, 09:24:16 PM JOKE POLLS!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: Sprouts Farmers Market ✘ on October 31, 2014, 09:32:07 PM There was one district I was really interested in - NJ12. I know it got way more D with redistricting, but Alieta Eck was supposed to be a decent candidate. I would be very disappointed if she lost by 31. Hopefully junk.
Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: Devils30 on October 31, 2014, 11:06:19 PM That district went 66-34 Obama. There's no chance that candidate will be within 20 points.
Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: Lief 🗽 on November 01, 2014, 12:20:43 AM Rangel is losing to the Green in NY-13!
Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: Boston Bread on November 01, 2014, 12:23:35 AM Rangel is losing to the Green in NY-13! Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: cinyc on November 01, 2014, 12:49:10 AM Rangel is losing to the Green in NY-13! You can't conclude that. There are two candidates running against Rangel - Working Families Party candidate Kenneth Schaeffer and Green Party candidate Daniel Rivera. Best I can tell, YouGov didn't separately poll the two candidates - or, at least, didn't release results with the candidates separated out. They could be splitting the anti-Rangel vote. Plus, the MoE is +/-15 with 20% undecided, which makes the poll pretty useless. YouGov also seems to have allowed voters to choose "Other" in the two NYC-area districts where Democrats are running totally unopposed - NY-06 (Meng) and NY-16 (Engel). I suppose some registered Republicans and Conservatives will write somebody in. But most offended Republicans and Conservatives will likely just skip over the race altogether. As far as I know, there's no organized write-in campaign in either district. So I doubt 14% of NY-06 voters write in someone other than Meng, as YouGov's polling suggest. Ditto in NY-22 Upstate where Republican Hanna is unopposed. FYI - the official New York State candidate list is here (http://www.elections.ny.gov/NYSBOE/elections/2014/General/2014GeneralElectionCandidateList.pdf). Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: IceSpear on November 01, 2014, 01:09:59 AM Rangel is losing to the Green in NY-13! LOL, that would be hilarious. Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: Chancellor Tanterterg on November 01, 2014, 07:48:55 AM Despite this being YouGov (even though their polls are trash, props to them for even trying something this risky and ambitious), taken together with some other evidence I've seen (such as the Democrats spending money on offense in an R-leaning district) and the huge difference in candidate quality, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that in WV-2 Nick Casey will either win or (more likely) lose by a very small margin (1-2%). I also think that Mooney will be a serial underperformer even if he wins, but that part seems pretty obvious.

Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: eric82oslo on November 04, 2014, 06:53:56 PM According to YouGov, the following districts could be within single digits:
Arkansas 2 Arkansas 4 Arizona 1 Arizona 2 California 7 California 9 California 10 California 21 California 24 California 26 California 36 California 52 Colorado 6 Connecticut 5 Florida 2 Florida 26 Georgia 12 Iowa 1 Iowa 3 Iowa 4 Illinois 8 Illinois 10 Illinois 11 Illinois 12 Illinois 13 Kansas 2 Louisiana 1 Louisiana 3 Louisiana 4 Massachusetts 6 Maine 2 Michigan 1 Michigan 8 Michigan 11 Minnesota 7 Minnesota 8 Montana North Dakota Nebraska 2 New Hampshire 1 New Hampshire 2 New Jersey 3 New Mexico 2 Nevada 4 New York 1 New York 11 New York 18 New York 21 New York 24 Pennsylvania 6 Texas 23 Texas 34 Virginia 4 Virginia 10 West Virginia 2 West Virginia 3 That's a total of 56 close races. Title: Re: CBS/ YouGov House polls Post by: Lief 🗽 on November 05, 2014, 02:15:31 PM Rangel is losing to the Green in NY-13! Considering that Rangel won with more than 80% of the vote, I think we may have a new contender for worst poll ever. Of course I partially blame myself for being one of the 71 people who were in the sample for NY-13 and saying I'd vote for the green candidate. |
