It comes with this disclaimer:

    Please note that this is a preliminary report. These figures have not been weighted for age, race, or gender. These raw numbers overstate the opinions of women and understate the opinions of African American voters by more than half. Additionally, the survey results understate the opinions of voters under age 50. This preliminary survey significantly overstates the opinions of Republican voters.

Nothing particularly surprising.  Pickering is the Republican's strongest candidate, and Moore most likely beats anyone else.

Graves is James Graves, an African American Democrat on the state Supreme Court.

[Joe Republic]

Well then, that's settled.  The seat is Pickering's to keep, should he want it.

[7,052,770]

Pickering's numbers don't add to nearly 100.  Something's off.

Anyhow, yes, in Pickering vs. Moore, Pickering has the advantage, but it could go either way.
In anyone else vs. Moore, Moore has the advantage, but it could go either way.

[HardRCafé]

Anyhow, yes, in Pickering vs. Moore, Pickering has the advantage, but it could go either way.

If Pickering propositioned Moore on live television, perhaps.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

Anyhow, yes, in Pickering vs. Moore, Pickering has the advantage, but it could go either way.

If Pickering propositioned Moore on live television, perhaps.

Pickering is significantly more popular than Moore, Moore is significantly more unpopular than Pickering.

Clearly, you are misinterpreting this poll, as it was clear this poll was taken on "opposite day."  You need also remember that there's a built in Democratic advantage in Mississippi—it's why they've held both Senate seats for decades now.

Also, when you really, really, really want something to be true, it often turns out to be so!

That's why you got burned and had to wear that red D avatar for a month.

Play with fire and you get burned.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I don't believe Pickering has 64% approval (impossible for a Republican in Mississippi because of blacks), but this is Zogby, and everything put out by Zogby is completely worthless garbage of no value whatsoever, so toss this.

[Lief 🗽]

Well, this poll is both a Zogby poll and it says quite clearly that it "significantly overstates the opinions of Republican voters." So, I don't know that we can really glean any information from it that's worth anything.

Apparently Daily Kos commissioned a Research 2000 poll for the Mississippi race. Don't know when it'll be released though.

I forgot, you know way more about Mississippi than me.  That's why you posted on the forum that Lott was resigning the day before the media knew.

[Aizen]

Listen, he knows MUCH more about Mississippi than you do.

Care for another bet?

I got burned last time when my smart bet turned sour in the closing week, but if you have an idea for a bet I'll at least listen to your conditions.
