I think you have to fix the Tenn numbers.
Thanks.
Welcome to FR. I found this to be most helpful for posting stuff in the correct format (formatting guide and tricks):

Anytime and welcome to FR :) After this election is over and we keep control of both the House and the Senate only left wing delusional morons and knee jerks conservatives will still believe in polls or consider them seriously. I guess some people did not learn anything regarding the biased media polls in 2000, 2002, and 2004.
You are correct. Actual Tennessee was Bush +14%,so difference was 10.7%. Not a good first post, is this?
Agree, in Tennessee President Bush won by 14% over Kerry.
Welcome Cliff.
In fact you posted an excellent find. Formatting is the easy part :)
Latest media poll:
"Kerry Wins!"
EXACTLY!! We have to pass on the word to our like-minded conservative colleagues. DON'T LISTEN TO THE POLLS!!! VOTE!!VOTE!!VOTE!!
it is confusing but
first number is the final poll
2nd number is actual election results
3rd number is the difference between the two
Until some "pollster" out there is shown to be consistently accurate as to the actual final ballot counts over a number of elections --- and I don't believe that there are any "pollsters" with a long-term consistently accurate record --- you would do at least as well to hire a haruspex as a "pollster".
My own guess is that the Republicans will retain both the Senate and the House, and may even pick up seats in one or both of them.
Maybe I is stoopid but me no understand your numbers at all.
Thanx for posting the numbers in an UNDERSTANDABLE format.
Um...that's why we have a PREVIEW screen.
Thanks for making it easy to understand.
It's clear that Zogby polls are pretty unreliable, based on what I see here.
I've said it before. Look at the numbers in the polls. They don't add up to 100%. This was also the case in the 2004 election. They had the election tied at 48-48, which only added up to 96% or George Bush losing to Kerry 48 to whatever. Where were the other 4%? Nader and the other candidates didn't hardly make up 1%. But they never showed Kerry over 48% When the final tally was taken, Bush won 52% to 48%. The pollsters are doing the same thing this time. There is a hidden percentile that for some reason the pollsters are not reporting. Zogby was and is one of the biggest offenders.
Aw come on PJ. FR is not as easy to navagate to newbies as it appears to us. We will give him a break this time. Won't we?
