For some reason I think you are bright enough to not really believe this, but you want, in your heart to think it is the gospel truth.

The stench that he represents in Congress is detrimental to the well-being of this society. Hopefully, the voters in Kentucky wake TF up.

PPP is a well respected polling firm.

of course it might be the end, sooner or later he will be out, but based on one poll, 16 months out means nothing, that is my point.

Winter Sucks, I am very much aware of PPP, but the fact remains, whether you want to accept it or not, all polls, regardless of the pollster, can be swayed by the simple way a person is polled or who is being polled.

I think the whole point of this thread is in Kentucky, it should not even be within 10 points.

This is typical neo-con strategy on the internet. They don't like the data, so they attack the poster or the methodology. Reminds me of all the criticism of Nate Silver leading up to this past November.
