DURHAM, N.H. —As Donald Trump prepares to accept the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in Cleveland on Thursday night, a new poll show that he is now deadlocked with Democrat Hillary Clinton in a one-on-one matchup in the battleground state of New Hampshire. The Granite State has only four electoral votes, but it is considered a swing state, and as such, it is closely watched and highly coveted in general election campaigns. The latest WMUR Granite State Poll, released on Thursday evening, has Clinton leading Trump, 39 percent to 37 percent, well within the poll’s 4.5 percent margin of error, while...

Polls are now showing Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Dave Loebsack in a virtual dead heat. Miller-Meeks has a message and it seems to be attracting voters. I don't think this rise is due to just Republican voters. I truly believe that there are Democrat and Independent voters that have listened to Miller-Meeks and decided that she can work for them better than Dave Loebsack.

A new poll by Reuters, C-SPAN, and Zogby show what most polls have told us about Iowa: it's still a dead heat.

I've had it with these ridiculous polls and pundits claiming everything is a virtual tie. Even all the battleground states are a tie according to them! I have a suspicious feeling that a great majority of pollsters, pundits, and newservices are going to be scraping egg off their faces by 11pm Tuesday evening. What happened in 2000 was historic because it only happened 1 or 2 times in our history. 2000 was an anomole folks, pure and simple. The chances that this election will be another tie or deadheat are almost like lightening striking the same place twice. Think about...

Poll tightens on weekend. To be expected...

So what did the Bushies see that others did not? Despite a wall of pundits conceding Kerry to Michigan, despite 37 of 40 polls tracking Kerry with comfortable margins, the Bushies still believed. They stepped up their Michigan efforts in these final weeks. And now, two days before Election Day, there it is in black and white: Kerry and Bush in a dead heat for Michigan according to The Detroit News and Zogby polls. While the Bush Team won’t tell you directly, their Michigan faith seems to center on three factors: turnout, minorities, and multi-state strategy. On turnout. Conventional wisdom...
