The Des Moines Register poll was supposed to be the gold standard in polls --- according to genius Scarborough. Not so much. Looks like the poll was an outlier after all, as this Quinnipiac poll is more in keeping with other polls.

Why are you so pessimistic? I tend to believe the Des Moines register poll which is very accurate in its predictions.

Ms. Ernst would sure be nice to look at in her tenure as Senator.

IMHO

I believe the register, the other polls are herding.

Nate Silver says the Des Moines Register poll is about spot-on historically, so we’ll see.

I say you have a throbbing woody to see the ‘rats win, troll.

Better put some ice on it. Or wait until Wednesday; I think the swelling will be down by then.

I knew the Des Moines Register poll would give a false sense of security, whether that was intended or not.

I warned people that this was not in the bag for Ernst, but no, I get called a concerntroll by trolls here at FR for my efforts in trying to warn people to get out and vote for Ernst.

Selzer & Co (company that did the Des Moines Register poll) has a better reputation than does Quinnipiac, at least as it concerns Iowa. That doesn’t mean that they aren’t wrong this time around, just that their track record is better. We’ll know tomorrow, won’t we.

I say that you are an idiot.

I knew that the earlier Des Moines Regsiter poll was an outlier, and I tried to warn people to get out and vote for Ernst.

That you don’t want to see anything other than something that warms your heart isn’t my problem.

Seems to me that the answer isn’t calling other Freepers trolls, it’s not getting overconfident and fighting like hell against the Dems to get out the vote.

When Silver said that Obama was going to win in 2012, the right hammered him. When Silver said that the GOP had an 80% chance of winning the Senate in 2014 (back some months ago) the left hammered him.

Silver seems to be accurate, though. I hope he is...

That is typically the reaction one gets here. You try to warn people to get out and vote for Ernst and you get hammered like I have. Typical...

I make my judgment — watchman? or concern troll? — not just from this one post, but from the posting history.

Anyway, when did I say “be overconfident” or “don’t fight like hell”? Yes, of course, fight like hell!

But don’t get all nancyboy about an outlier that a concern troll warns is mainstream.

Have fun with the trolls.

This is the last time today that I am going to warn them about this or other polls that I am privy to.

Why should I bother?

No good deed goes unpunished...
