Actually this year polls have found Republicans doing better among registered voters than among likely voters -- opposite from the usual situation.

Gallup observed this phenomenon in Montana and Ohio for the Senate races in particular.

What to you think this phenomenon means?

And it's sheer nonsense. The ground game tells us this. Gallup can "observe" whatever he wants to, but the real message we get on the ground---and apparently OK STATE, you never bother to walk a precinct or do any "poll flushing" or make calls, so you might not know this---is that the GOP's ground game will be pretty close to what we had in 2004, and the Dems will not even be as good as 2004.

And let's please remember Gallup's organization was infiltrated by British MI-5 in WW II and produced bogus polls without even knowing it.

And lets not forget Gallup in 1996 was one of ALL the pollsters who was dramatically off to the left and was guilty of oversampling Dems.

It's the same story, over and over. These guys have badly flawed methods that never seem to show up until election eve, when they hustle to get in line with something close to the real electoral verdict.

Which conclusively supports the notion that the GOP's biggest problem is with their own base.

I.e., retrievable...if they can find it within themselves to do something right.
