So, Shaheen is leading by a larger margin than last time PPP polled this race but somehow this is evidence of this race becoming competitive?
This x 100000. The Republican shills continue to grasp at straws claiming that Brown is competitive.
Come on now, compare apples to apples - the last League of Conservation PPP poll showed Brown down 8 (more recent than the poll that had Brown down 3), now he's down 6. I don't think Brown will win, I'm not even sure he will be competitive by the end (considering his petulant debating style with Liz Warren), but it is getting closer.
So going from being down 8 to down 6 is closing? That's statistical noise within the margin, my friend. There is little evidence that this is getting closer. I eagerly await to be proved wrong.
Shaheen had been up double digits in multiple past polls, so from +10 or +11 to +6 is significant, especially with a +2 from UNH (a junky poll however), it does constitute a shift. Of course, more polling data is needed to verify this. Still, this just means that Scott Brown is in maybe in more of a Harold Ford situation than a Rick Santorum situation, not by any means that he's going to win.
