Title: KS: Survey USA: Sebelius(D) has edge on Barnett(R) Post by: Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers on November 05, 2006, 08:41:21 PM New Poll: Kansas Governor by Survey USA on 2006-11-04 (https://uselectionatlas.org/POLLS/GOVERNOR/2006/polls.php?action=indpoll&id=20200611040)
Summary: D: 57%, R: 40%, U: 2% Poll Source URL: Full Poll Details (http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReportPopup.aspx?g=22c5c341-3acc-4743-a515-22131c9243c1&q=31231) Title: Re: KS: Survey USA: Sebelius(D) has edge on Barnett(R) Post by: Gabu on November 05, 2006, 08:48:40 PM I've never quite understood pollsters' use of the word "edge".
In Kansas, it's D +17 and the Democrat has an "edge". In South Carolina, it's R +17, and the Republican has a "comfortable margin".

It's much clearer.
Title: Re: KS: Survey USA: Sebelius(D) has edge on Barnett(R) Post by: Deano963 on November 05, 2006, 11:29:39 PM I love how Granholm is leading by just five points in one poll, as opposed to Sebelius's 17-point lead, and Granholm's margin is also referred to as an "edge". To me, there's a big difference between a 5-point and a 17-point race.
Title: Re: KS: Survey USA: Sebelius(D) has edge on Barnett(R) Post by: RJ on November 05, 2006, 11:33:56 PM I'll admit when I saw the word "edge" I thought it would be closer than 17 pts.

On the matter at hand, hardly suprising. Title: Re: KS: Survey USA: Sebelius(D) has edge on Barnett(R) Post by: Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers on November 06, 2006, 01:16:06 AM As far as me writing, a lead is an edge, big or small, it is up to your interpretation, I won't change it. It doesn't matter cause she is going to win anyway.
Title: Re: KS: Survey USA: Sebelius(D) has edge on Barnett(R) Post by: Gustaf on November 06, 2006, 10:44:50 AM As far as me writing Yes, why do you do that again? Title: Re: KS: Survey USA: Sebelius(D) has edge on Barnett(R) Post by: Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers on November 06, 2006, 11:14:35 AM I think my statement is fair.
