On Obama’s “Dive In the Polls” And 2010

You might not have heard this, but the assembled punditocracy is convinced that 2010 will be a Democratic killing field, with the resurgent Republican Party claiming 10...20...50 seats.

Polling and Political Wrap-Up, 3/8/10

Actually, a fairly slow day. Rasmussen is being particularly Ras-sy today, making the great horse-race site Swing State Project look pretty great for referring to their latest rash of polls as "another steaming pile of Rasmussen". Other than that, a few candidates leap into, while other notables leap out of, the 2010 cycle....

Polling and Political Wrap: The Weekend Edition

Just when you got used to the new schedule of the Polling and Political Wrap, another quirk develops. Don't fret: it will still be a three day a week feature.

Polling and Political Wrap-Up, 3/1/10

'Tis the first edition of the Wrap for March, but on this first day of the month, it kinda feels like the whole day on the Front Page was "wrap-worthy". We had the exciting news of Arkansas Lt. Governor Bill Halter getting into the game on the Senate side, and the exciting news of...

Polling and Political Wrap-Up, 2/26…er…2/27/10
