For example, have a question like "Considering only Social Issues like Abortion, Gay Marriage, etc., which party best represents your views" and ask those kind of questions for other things like the economy or foreign policy.<br /><br />We're knee-deep in generic ballot polls, but very few people have looked into which particular issues boost a party up and which issues pull a party down with the general public.Alex from San Francisconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-17420689363323739472010-11-28T16:12:11.416-05:002010-11-28T16:12:11.416-05:00How about the ones that are red & swing states...How about the ones that are red & swing states with Dem senators such as North Dakota (which hasn't been polled lately), Ohio, Missouri, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania?

Colorado has no Sen or Gov race, but I think it's going to be the firewall for Obama's reelection, along with New Hampshire. Obama can lose OH, FL, VA, IN, and NC and still win if he carries Colorado and New Hampshire (in addition to states he won by larger margins). If he loses Colorado, he's probably lost the states that were closer and therefore the election.<br /><br />MISSOURI - McCaskill is going to be vulnerable, but would make a good bellweather for the 2006 Senate class (McCaskill's race in MO is probably a good average of Tester in MT and Webb in VA). Gov. Nixon should be in good shape for reelection, especially compared to McCaskill. It was the closest state in the 2008 presidential race, so it would be interesting to see how much things have changed for Obama since then. <br /><br />INDIANA - Lugar is going to get teabagged; why not be the first pollster to call it? You could do the same in Maine, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah! Half the Republicans in Class 1 will get teabagged out of their primaries. Gov race should be interesting, as would seeing how poorly Obama does now compared to 2008. Can't see Daniels winning the tea-fueled GOP Sen primary either, so test multiple people.<br /><br />OHIO - Sen Brown is a solid progressive in a swing state and will be very vulnerable. Ohio would be THE best gauge of Obama's reelection chances.<br /><br />FLORIDA - Nelson will be a huge target, and Florida is a critical state in presidential races.BpFishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-67424926469023241942010-11-24T15:52:35.878-05:002010-11-24T15:52:35.878-05:00Conduct a poll on Kent Conrad vs. potential ND Rep...Conduct a poll on Kent Conrad vs. potential ND Republican challengers considering that he represents a red state and that he could be in trouble due to his pro-Obama votes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-26141973507201289172010-11-24T15:50:01.017-05:002010-11-24T15:50:01.017-05:00Poll Sherrod Brown and Debbie Stabenow against pot...Poll Sherrod Brown and Debbie Stabenow against potential GOP challengers.<br /><br />I think the OH & MI Senate elections will be interesting ones.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-89665973041852916492010-11-24T14:58:24.865-05:002010-11-24T14:58:24.865-05:00"Ah, yes.
