New Polls Show Bloomberg Candidacy Would Flip More States To Blue
By Eric Kleefeld - June 20, 2007, 5:18PM
A new batch of polls just out from SurveyUSA provides us with the first detailed snapshot we have yet of the state-by-state effect a Bloomberg candidacy would have on the 2008 Presidential race.
Bottom line: Bloomberg’s impact depends entirely on who the Dem and GOP nominees are, but it’s clear that in more cases, his entry actually flips the states from red to blue than the other way around.
