Quinnipiac rightly overshadowed it but it should still be noted that PPP released a poll yesterday, too, showing Toomey up 6% from his most recent approval rating in a PPP poll.
So pbrower really has to give it up with the "BUT 28%!!!" routine.
I DID!
I said that it could be an outlier. But Senator Toomey could be very close to his ceiling. Pennsylvania is a tough state for right-wing Republicans.
0%? Did I ever say 0%? I would not give "0%" for the chance of Mali winning a medal at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games... yet. 0% involves reversal of time, alteration of history, people dead for a year rising from the dead... The prediction was not so ridiculous when Toomey had a 28% approval rating.
Let's go on a trip down memory lane, shall we?(these are all things you've said. wording is yours, bolding is mine):
To be sure, having an approval rating at 28% twenty-two months before the election isn't quite as bad as having a 27% approval rating nine months before the election... but not even Barack Obama can campaign his way out of that level of disapproval.
I call it here: Republicans are going to cut their losses with Senator Toomey very fast. He's a bad fit for Pennsylvania, barely getting elected in the wave election of 2010, the sort who loses in a high-participation Presidential election.
They probably have a better chance of picking up an open Senate seat in California than they have of holding onto this one. I'm not calling a Democratic wave yet. [/quote]
I can't find the post right now, but I also remember you saying somewhere that you considered PA-SEN safe D and
NC-SEN likely D.
So while you may not have said 0% outright, you certainly were strongly implying it.
