Great news, obviously. But weren't two polls released in the last week showing Bowles up by like 8%-10%? I'd like to see another poll showing the race this tight before I place Edwards' Senate seat in our corner. There was a poll about 10 days ago showing it tight, and the next two polls that came out sure rained on our parade.
I agree.
I like the numbers on this poll too.
But I'll reserve judgement 'til I see another poll with similar or better numbers for Burr.
Supposedly there a GOP-sponsored poll by POS that also shows 45-44 Bowles; it's listed on RealClearPolitics.
The SurveyUSA polls (showed +10 Bowles a few weeks ago but also showed Bush only +4) jump around a lot, as you know, and the Research2000 poll showed Bowles up 9 but Bush only up 6 and Ballantine trailing badly ~ seems like a Dem-friendly sample.
Mason-Dixon is the most accurate and shows Bush up 9%, which makes sense.
Also Burr sent out an email before this Mason-Dixon poll saying the race was 1-4 points in Bowles' favor.
