I found a table summarizing your state 2012 Presidential polls at http://www.marstonchronicles.info and see that these are the two battleground states that need to be polled. That site had nice things to say about you. Tennessee will re-elect Corker and not go for Obama so what will a poll there really tell us?gemimailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029589478251341466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-19617986453107112222011-02-09T13:47:06.484-05:002011-02-09T13:47:06.484-05:00Few interesting options for Tennessee.

New Hampshire is the KEY state."<br /><br />We did do NH back in November, right after the election. It was actually part of our final 2010 election poll. Romney was way out in front with 40% of the vote.<br /><br />In the general, NH is definitely not THE key state--VA, NC, OH, and FL are much more crucial targets for the GOP to take back because they have far more electoral votes and are actually probably more red than is NH. Kerry and Obama both won NH, and it's a pretty safe bet to stay blue, even with Romney as the nominee. We'll do it again at some point soon.<br /><br />"Obama can win without FL, OH, NC, VA, IN but not NH."<br /><br />He's beating all the Republicans in FL, OH, NC,and VA already.<br /><br />"You totally gotta poll Bruce Pearl's approval rating seeing how the school is probably going to have to make an effort not to fire him at this point."<br /><br />We will, and Lane Kiffin.<br /><br />"Hank Williams Jr. has frequently made noise since 08 about primarying Corker. Test him"<br /><br />Good idea. Any other popular country singers? I know Tim McGraw's been mentioned as a possible Democratic candidate for some office in the future.<br /><br />"I'm not sure how it works, but is it possible to ask why you wouldn't vote for her? Like, have a question that asks why you prefer Obama to Palin?"<br /><br />If we have definite answer choices that correspond to one of eight buttons on the phone. It might be more relevant in the national poll, though.Dustin Ingallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599131416393266722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-1557399883708577082011-02-08T12:16:25.712-05:002011-02-08T12:16:25.712-05:00Polling Bill Clinton's approvals would be cool...Polling Bill Clinton's approvals would be cool- it'll be good to see how the last Democratic President to win Tennessee is holding up.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005622987197701047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-4532330449797128492011-02-08T12:04:00.115-05:002011-02-08T12:04:00.115-05:00As far as testing candidates against Corker, I wil...As far as testing candidates against Corker, I will repost what I wrote in another thread: <br /><br />Corker v.

Bart Gordon<br />Corker v. (former) Rep. Jim Cooper<br />New: Corker v. (former) Rep. Harold Ford, Jr. <br /><br />As far as a primary challenge, I second testing Hank Williams, Jr. against him. Other than that, I am not sure whom to suggest, because Tennessee seems to be fairly moderate in its Republicanism and Corker seems to be pretty popular.

Another pollster recently showed Obama up over Palin by several points. I'm not sure how it works, but is it possible to ask why you wouldn't vote for her? Like, have a question that asks why you prefer Obama to Palin?<br /><br />Might be too difficult, but I'm curious what the main criticism of independents is. Too conservative? too inexperienced? Personally unlikable?
