This has as much to do with name ID as anything else. I have qualms about Thompson even though I’d support him if he were the nominee.
PPP is Daily Kos’s pollster, and it consistently presumes that turnout in 2012 will be even more heavily Democrat than it was in 2008 (and that 2010 never happened). I won’t lose any sleep over this poll. That being said, the 2012 Senate election in WI will not be a landslide irrespective of whether we nominate Thompson, Van Hollen or that conservative ex-state senator from Waukesha and Washington Counties whom PPP apparently did not include in the poll despite the fact that he won a GOP straw poll this week.
Ah, another poll of “voters” - no mention of registered or likely, and it almost guarantees that it is the former, which makes this yet another worthless PPP Democrat poll. Feingold is now “popular” and Gov. Walker is “unpopular” and the nation is “coming back” to the Democrats during a sustained Depression of their creation. Can you say “Bull$hit !”, kids ?
A left wing rag hires a Dem party push poll outfit and surprise the Dem is ahead !!!
Now that's some great polling.
PPP been spitting out the Dem party push polls for the Obama state media on a weekly basis now !
