Newsweek Poll on 2002 Elections: Republicans 46, Democrats 43

What on earth does that matter? We are not having a national election this year, what matters are state races.

[Cyber Liberty]

I guess Newsweak is trying to get some credibility by fudging their polls away from their usual leftist bias, here in the final week to elections.

[BunnySlippers]

Anyone see ... Trent Lott's plane had problem with the landing gear not coming down. Three Republican senators on board. Has landed safely.

[Cyber Liberty]

It mattered a lot in 1994. The "generic" House of Representative polls were the only national indicators of the 'Crap carnage.

[wardaddy]

Quite right. Prior to the Lautenberg entry and Wellsone's death and Hutchinson's implosion, I thought we had a better than even chance to take the Senate back....now it doesn't look so good.

Additionally, Pubbies don't seem to be so broken glassed as in 2000 either.

Just my instincts. I would agree with Rush yesterday though that the Dems are running on old dogs strictly.

[William McKinley]

Two Senators. Reports that Santorum was on board were incorrect.

[Southack]

"Just my instincts. I would agree with Rush yesterday though that the Dems are running on old dogs strictly."

L N Smithee joked yesterday that the Dems would soon be touting Noble-Prize-winning Jimmy Carter as their Presidential candidate in 2004, just to keep up with the Lautenberg/Mondale fad...

Looks like Bill and Hitlery do not want to wait until Election Day to see if the DemoRats are still control of the Senate...

[Alas Babylon!]

Dude, so people who haven't kept up can follow you in this post, I submit the following:

You sound like the DUers talking about Wellstone's plane. We are better than that.

[LibWhacker]

Given the relatively large sampling errors, the results tell us very little. It's a toss-up.

[ffrancone]

IT'S 7 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION.

WILL IT STILL BE HER SENATE?

GOOD INTENTIONS DON'T WIN ELECTIONS.
ACTION DOES. ACT TODAY.

[Southack]

Random sampling errors wouldn't usually reveal a straightline trend. Check the data from mid-September to today...

Additionally, Pubbies don't seem to be so broken glassed as in 2000 either.

Oh yeh?

The Broken Glass Republican Crawls Again

Save that picture. I have a feeling we're going to be needing it in the future.

[LibWhacker]

Look at the confidence intervals . . . They overlap all the way from August right through the latest poll. We'll get the most accurate results on 11/5, IF democrat voter fraud can be kept to a minimum.

[ambrose]

I know. They are my inspiration ;)

[JasonC]

Um, are the first two lines -likely- voters or registered voters? The last three are obviously registered voters. I assume the Republicans are better off in "likely" than in "registered".
