[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Tim Pawlenty at net 8 disapproval, woohoo!

[bgwah]

Nice to see Gregoire staying in the green.

[Joe Republic]

Nice to see Gregoire staying in the green.

By a grand total of one percentage point.

[Mr. Paleoconservative]

It is good to see Ted Kulongoski  right where he belongs, right at  the bottom with other such notables as Taft and Murkowski.  Oregon will have a new Governor come January.  Or so says Oregon's best pollsters like Bob Moore.

Arnold is 43-52 here and 48-37 in Field. Weird.

Survey USA polls, governor and senate always have the numbers wrong anyway. All other polls about these have such different numbers and a lot more undecideds. Like in NJ....

I'm not buying that, and I'm pretty sure it's a uni poll. SUSA isn't the best pollster, but they're far better than crap like that.

Other polls throughout the year released during the same time back that up. Everything contradicts the approval susa's.

While I would prefer SUSA to be a better poll of Arnold's approval rating for obvious reasons, I'd have to admit that Field is probably more accurate. Ironically the way that SUSA seriously blew the 2005 Propositions was that they were way too pro-Arnold.

Surprising that I couldnt find another poll with his approvals from this month you mean? This was the only one out there to compare with.

I feel dumb for not knowing that Idaho has a new Governor.

It is good to see Ted Kulongoski  right where he belongs, right at  the bottom with other such notables as Taft and Murkowski.  Oregon will have a new Governor come January.  Or so says Oregon's best pollsters like Bob Moore.

Down 17 points versus 63 and 60 points...not so much.

Moore found a tie, by the way.  It was actually Riley Research that shows a lead...and Riley Research is total crap.

Moore's latest poll (the type you have to pay for) has Saxton up by 5% with a 4% margin of error.  Riley is traditionally a somewhat accurate polling outfit, but much like Zogby, got trashed in the 2004 cycle. 

Saxton will win, and unlike the Santorum folks who go against the numbers, Oregon's two best polling outfits (Moore and Riley) have Saxton taking the prize.

Are you confident enough of that that you would put money on it?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It's a wonder why Arnold has net disapprovals and he is cruising to reelection.

[Deano963]

It's a wonder why Arnold has net disapprovals and he is cruising to reelection.

B/c Westly and Angelides made eachother un-electable in the primary. Two of the biggest idiots in Cali, those two. If they had kept the primary clean, whomever had won would probably be running at least even with Ahnold right now. As it is, they said some of the worst things imaginable about eachother during the primary, allowing Ahnold to use the Dem's own words against their eventual nominee. Idiots.

Two additional governorships the Dems will definitely pick up in '07 and '08: Kentucky and Missouri.

I'm sorry, but why are you saying Riley is a good pollster?  Look at his 2004 numbers.  They were probably the worst pollster in the country.
