Polling all registered voters, so far as I know, is not a good indication of election results. All registered voters are always measured as more democratic, and even so repubs lead in this poll.

Polling likely voters is a better measure.

Statistics have shown that on a generic ballot, a D +4 is a tie. Add that to the +7 average and you get approx +10 GOP with the mix of LV and RV polling. Either way, it's a turdblossom for the RATS, no matter how they spin it.

Just as I expected, and might have stated somewhere, the "pollsters" are trying to average down the averages at RCP to keep the "all is lost" mentality from kicking in.

PPP and some other pollturds will keep sending out wildly swinging polls that water down the averages, for the next few months, mark my words. Or, do as I have been and take screen shots of various polls and save them till after the election and see how distorted they were, and write about it.

Especially in a non-presidential election and where the party of the rat controls everything. Expect them to be way oversampled in an RV poll.

"Polling all registered voters, so far as I know, is not a good indication of election re could be a very messed up number, especially if they are using past voter activity to define it. Half those new Obama voters are going to sit home. But if they voted in the last election, are they defined as "likely voters?" That's how some polls have done it in the past.
