Title: IA-Loras: Braley barely ahead
Post by: Tender Branson on October 28, 2014, 10:19:10 AM
45-44 Braley/Ernst

Quote
Among those who have already cast their ballots during Iowa's early voting period, Budzisz said Braley had a six-point edge. Braley also has a small advantage among independent voters, 44 percent to 40 percent. The survey was conducted Oct. 21-24.

Doesn't this joke usually have Braley up by one anyway? Laughably desperate.

No, it was a tie in their last poll. Looks like Bart Brontley has the momentum here!

Wrong, that last one was a tie, and before that, Joni was leading.

Um, no. The last Loras poll had it tied but the one before that had Braley up four.

Checked the nitty gritty. I may be wrong, but is this an RV poll?

Looks like Bloomberg claims this is a LV poll. I haven't seen the toplines.

I bet you're wrong.  At least, it's a poll of likely voters who are also registered voters.

But, remember, that's actually by definition inaccurate because you don't have to be a registered voter to be a likely voter.

It's a moot point; Loras is a junk firm.  I want Braley to win as much as the next Democrat, but getting excited about Braley leading in a Loras poll is just silly (as is Republicans getting excited about Loras showing their House candidates ahead).

Isn't Loras a Dr. Seuss character?

Not good news for Ernst if this is a Republican internal.

If the Lorax is the first thing you think about when trying to make a pun about Loras, you clearly haven't seen Game of Thrones. :P
