This is useless...back and forth....I think it is best to wait until Tuesday to see what happens......Wow am I brilliant...NOT! lol.

This is Raese’s to lose given that he had the upperhand much of the fall. If he lets Manchin get away with his tact to the right and doesn’t point out that the balance of power in the Senate between Obama’s agenda and an alternative is at stake, he probably deserves to lose. Manchin, despite some moderate stances, is still going to be a vote for the Dem majority and for the overall larger government, more intrusion that has failed so badly the past 18 months.

WTH happened there? Raese was up by 7 just a week ago!! Is it because of Manchin’s “I-don’t-support-0bama” head fake?

Come on, West Virginia!!! Don’t let your country down!!

FYI..Taranto has a piece today in the WSJ, also at nationalreview.com..saying that Manchin, if elected, is the MOST likely Dem to switch to the GOP..premise is that he sounds more like a Republican now, and that if he is elected, there's no way he could win in 2012 with Obama at the ballot. And if Rahall loses, that might convince Manchin to jump

Intriguing premise..if he did switch, right after the election, gave the GOP the majority..and voted against all of Obama's stuff..he probably wouldn't have a GOP primary opponent

This state voted McCain, Bush, Bush. I refuse to believe that Manchin will win this.

If so, every coal miner will certainly lose his job.

Tired of people getting so worked up over these fluctuating polls. Tuesday can’t come soon enough so this nonsense can stop. Yes, I still think Raese is going to win but however it goes I just want it done so the real work can start. The real work will be challenging Republicans to govern constitutionally and conservatively. I don’t view Tuesday as cause for celebration but one step toward confronting both establishments in D.C. and want to get started now.

And all how many Dems/liberals will be loving this poll now after trashing Rasmussen all damn year long.

[Deagle]

Raese by 8 points over Manchin. All of you are forgetting the massive Repbublican turnout that is coming... If he is anywhere close to even, Raese wins.

[ncalburt]

I recall Wizbang blog did a analysis of pollster accuracy on state level polls ( not national) and Rasmussen had a semi poor record on his state level polls .
The same study showed almost all pollster state race accuracy were way off.

I suspect a world of cell phones and I-phones has made these robo calls polls obsolete.

So like the others have stated , its all about turn out.

Most of these polls are only meant to manipulate voter turn out.

Does anyone recall the Boston Glob PUSH poll that showed Brown behind by 15 points a week before the election ?

Did the Boston Globe get dragged into court for trying to manipulate an election result ?

Nothing is ever said or done to these Dem Media outlets when their PUSH polls are proven to Way off and Fraudulent !

[Tribemike1]

RCP still has that BOGUS Marshall Univ “Poll” done 1st Week of October that showed Manchin 10 points ahead ! BS

[skaterboy]

BAD BAD NEWS...RR is matching PPP.....If the people of WVA are really that stupid to think he is gonna distence himself from Bama then they deserve him

[LibLieSlayer]

rasmussen... sine wave polling... if you can't figure out the electorate... keep it well within the margin... when the republican wins big... say you did not catch the “last minute swing”. Seen it ALL before scotty... bring Carl back and YOU retire scotty.

LLS

Don’t forget, he’s up for re-election in 2 years. This is a special election. He will have to vote lock step with Repubs for 2 years no matter what.

[Qbert]

C'mon, West Virginia...if Massachusetts of all places could see the light and make the switch...
