are you even going to try to be unbiased in this thread?

Basically, although I try to be somewhat objective in this thread even in the comments, although totally objective in the first post

"warnings Pro-Dem tide..." would be the exact same phrase I'd use...I didn't see a huge difference between "Dem wave" and "GOP tide"

to be honest, even in review my point is very accurate reporting

It was an update of why I can't update right now...

Yeah, real center of the issue...anyway you don't even have much of a case I don't see any blatant bias in what I posted, it is pretty much what right-leaning and moderate pollsters around the country were saying

I think your nit picking, the first post is fine and its not like thorgrim hides his personal beliefs on the board. So it should come as no surprise where he stands on the issues...the first post is good, he'll update it soon enough. Everything outside the first post is fair game IMO.

Ford is leading Corker in TN right now, 44-42

The Ford Report :: Harold Ford Jr. For U.S. Senate 2006 Unofficial Grassroots Blog

Now there's 6 GOP seats where the Dems are leading

and 1 with the incumbent with only a 3% lead

I am starting to think the Dems can pickup 7 seats

About polls for a second:

Here are Rasmussen polls from 2000:

Oregon - They had Bush by 5, Gore won by 1
Arkansas - They had Gore by 2, Bush won by 6
Maryland - They had Gore by 1, Gore won by 17

Out of 6 polling services who did numerous state polls in 2000 (including Zogby, Research 2000, Mason/Dixon, FoxNews, ARG), Rasmussen ranked 6th, Dead Last in accuracy.

However, in 2004, they were by far 1st in accuracy, while Zogby towards the end

If I had to pick the most reliable poll...it'd be Mason Dixon, but they don't poll nearly as often as Rasmussen does, and Zogby's new system seems to be strange to pollsters and on election day 2004 he was off almost as bad as Rasmussen was in 2000

I think next post I am going to use Zogby and Rasmussen together, however I will not say one or the other is left/right leaning...

The internal poll has Ford up 44/42 over Bob Corker. Yes, it's an internal poll--but consider this:

-it's 1118 likely voters
-it's statewide
-it's skewed conservative (like the state) with a sample group consisting of 48% conservatives, 32% moderates, and 14% liberals.
-in fact, this poll is so skewed conservative, it's got Bush with a 51% approval rating, compared to 39% on SurveyUSA.
-it's got a margin of error of only 2.9%.
