Okay, I admit, that's a little close before the primary.

Rasmussen: Dewey defeats Truman!

[Franzl]

I don't see why this isn't plausible. Feingold might be a little higher, but he's certainly not safe or anything.

[Torie]

It would be good if Ras actually controlled who voted.

I want the PPP poll. This looks ridiculous.

This is what happens when you don't include Madison.....

You all realize that Feingold has never won big in WI, right?  55-44, which was 2004 was his biggest margin and it could be a Republican year. 

The GOP always seems to get close in every race in WI, but can't ever win.  Maybe this is the big one for them? 

Feingold's race will be tight, but I expect he will survive yet again, maybe by 5 pts.

Wisconsin seems to have a tradition of barely voting for the Democrat, so I expect Feingold to hang on, but it will be close.

Honestly, when it comes to polls, it's better to look at the ones that are least favorable to your party so you don't end up jumping off a bridge like that one Kerry voter did.  PPP looks at registered voters, not likely voters, which is all very well and good in a 2008-style environment where everyone and his brother is going to vote.  If Rick Perry had been running two years ago, he'd be toast, and Feingold would be cruising.  But it's not 2008.  If Obama's numbers don't improve and if the base doesn't turn out, then Democrats are in trouble this year.  But that goes without saying.

Looking at likely voters this far out is a bad idea though, which is why I can't take Rasmussen polls too seriously this far out. And no politician losing could cause me to jump off of a bridge, so don't worry.

Well, that really sucks... Feingold losing would be one of the only legitimately depressing results of the night.

[MasterJedi]

He's never won by that much as others have said and not really done anything in his last term. Add to that it'll be a Republican year and he'll probably barely win. I'd love to see the arrogant ass lose though.
