It continued the blue trends of the previous three cycles (2004, 2006, and 2008). We'll see when we eventually poll it, but I'd imagine Obama leads all four Republicans there right now. Romney probably runs closest.Dustin Ingallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599131416393266722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-69066636439796910482011-01-11T11:46:32.749-05:002011-01-11T11:46:32.749-05:00Josh Putnam,

Obama's win was pretty flukey, and the general conservatism of the state combined with his miserable favorables there would tell me that the race will be won in OH, NC, VA, and NV. Not Colorado. I know that the Democrats did win the Senate contest there in November, but Bennet found a way to move far enough to the middle to make himself look more moderate than Ken Buck. The race was completely localized, but that won't be the case in 2012. <br /><br />In Coloraod it's GOP +8 in 2012. Obama wins everything else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-17180901151036737602011-01-11T11:36:32.520-05:002011-01-11T11:36:32.520-05:00There is no reason to poll Texas.

Maybe test Lieberman-as-D against McMahon or Simmons, test Lieberman-as-R against some of the Democratic options, test a couple R-D-Lieberman scenarios, and some straight-up R-D scenarios with Lieberman out of the picture. I have the feeling McMahon or Simmons might beat Lieberman in a straight-up contest, but any others seem likely to be comfortable D wins.<br /><br />Texas could be interesting too, particularly mixed with some questions about the state budget deficit, which has turned out to have the >$22 billion deficit Bill White identified, rather than the $11 billion deficit Perry pointed to (and there literally is not enough room in the Texas state budget to reduce that hole without major cuts in health and education; the only other option would be a constitutional amendment to allow them to use highway funds for other purposes).NRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565160695480579309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-89874737628780803012011-01-10T18:52:39.663-05:002011-01-10T18:52:39.663-05:005:06, I guess we don't need to do any more Oba...5:06, I guess we don't need to do any more Obama/Palin national polls since one already found her down by 22 points?<br /><br />6:35, it has to do with restrictions on automated polling in both states.Tom Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06545052616714485196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-67707562117949540092011-01-10T18:35:21.205-05:002011-01-10T18:35:21.205-05:00Due to my curiosity, I was wondering why PPP does ...Due to my curiosity, I was wondering why PPP does not conduct polling in North Dakota or Indiana?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-74236067335113449842011-01-10T18:08:36.228-05:002011-01-10T18:08:36.228-05:00Colorado because -- http://frontloading.blogspot.c...Colorado because -- <a href="http://frontloading.blogspot.com/2011/01/view-of-2008-presidential-election.html" rel="nofollow">http://frontloading.blogspot.com/2011/01/view-of-2008-presidential-election.html</a> -- of its position.Josh Putnamhttp://frontloading.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-92185642302836403722011-01-10T17:50:43.828-05:002011-01-10T17:50:43.828-05:00It would be curious to see what people's perce...It would be curious to see what people's perceptions about the overall "tone of political rhetoric" are.
