"Registered" voters always say they will vote. Most don't. "Likely" voters is a term used by most pollsters who apply a follow-up questionnaire: 1) did you vote in 2000? For whom? 2) Did you vote in 2002? For whom? etc.

So I think these numbers are typically way off.

Ahh....RCP had it as 'likely voters', but it was actually 'registered' voters. Makes more sense now. Checking now to see how many others they messed up on...

VERY interesting and VERY good news from these polls. If we're doing this well among registered voters, we're doing pretty well.

TN Corker 45 Ford 43 --- likely voters

MT Tester 46 Burns 43 --- registered voters

MO McCaskill 46 Talent 43 -- registered voters

VA Allen 47 Webb 43 --- registered voters

NJ Menendez 45 Kean 42 --- registered voters

OH Brown 48 DeWine 40 --- registered voters
