[IceSpear]

Their last MA-06 poll gave Obama a 28-63 favorability rating in the district, obviously completely impossible given his national numbers. Unfortunately, they didn't include that tidbit this time. But they do have him at 52% unfavorable statewide, which is also extremely unlikely considering he's at 54% disapproval NATIONALLY, and favorability tends to run a few points better than approval anyway.

Trash it.

[KCDem]

Tisei is at 42 where he will stay on Tuesday.

[Vega]

Yeah, if this was going to be the result, we should have just kept Tierney.

Yup. The DCCC pulled out of this district for a reason, and it wasn't because Tisei is going to win in such a crushing landslide that there's no hope left.

[SamInTheSouth]

The last three polls to come out on this race has shown Tisei with a slight lead.  He may very well lose at the end of the day, it's Massachusetts, but if you all actually believe this race is all but over and he has no shot at winning this seat then you're in as much denial as the Republicans were in 2006 when they scoffed at losing control of Congress despite what all the polls were saying.

Considering that he couldn't beat Tierney under scandal, it's doubtful that he would beat a veteran that didn't even disclose his awards.

Last three polls...all by the same pollster, which gave Obama a 28-63 favorability rating in the district. Nice try. There's a reason even RCP and all the pundits are keeping it at lean D, Emerson's junk polls notwithstanding.

That was 2012.  Obama isn't on the ticket this year to bring people out to the polls.

Nice try at what?  My opinion has no affect on the race.  You're just taking personal offense because I think your party could lose the seat.  We'll see in a few days, but I think this seat is definitely up for grabs.

You're trying to imply there's consensus when there is none. One pollster thinks Tisei is ahead. They also think Obama has a 28-63 favorability rating in a D+4 district. Do the math.

Ignore the "independent" from Nevada, IceSpear. He hasn't a clue about politics.

Pretty strong accusation from someone who's hot political take throughout this election season has been "Junk poll"

That's because there have been a great many junk polls.

You obviously haven't seen his posts about NH politics, then. Saying Garcia could run a competitive race because old UNH polls said so... Christ.

[free my dawg]

Oh Christ, a ten-point swing in a month?

Throw this in the trash.

[IceSpear]

Looks like Moulton is set to win by 15 points despite Democrats underperforming expectations massively nationwide.

But I was a hack for telling people to ignore Emerson's junk polls.
