Eric, I like you too - but you should re-consider because you sound like a Democratic hack:
I was not talking about Democrats and Republicans turning out, but of Independents (which are hating Brownback at the moment). If you have a 2014 LV poll, which first asks people about their feelings of Brownback and which produces a poll that has Brownback down by 4 and then ask these same people how they would vote in a 2016 matchup, OF COURSE this will produce favorable results for Hillary, much more favorable than it would be the case in November 2016 !
Have you looked at the Republican numbers too ? I guess not.
The Republican candidates are currently receiving just 69-75% of Republican voters in KS, according to the PPP poll.
Why ?
Because many Republicans hate Browncrook and that impacts these candidates in a 2014 likely voter poll.
That's exactly why pollsters should NEVER use 2014 likely voter polls for 2016 matchups, because a state's current climate impacts polling results.
The 2016 makeup will simply be different, with Browncrook likely being voted out this November.
Republicans will back their candidate with 90% and not with 69-75% and Independents (much more of them turning out like in a mid-term) will become more GOP-voting again, with Browncrook out of office.
If you seriously think that Hillary will come anywhere close to 1-6 points of a GOP candidate in 2016 and ignore the fact that this PPP poll is a product of a tainted state climate, I can't help you either ...
Once again Eric, please don't be a hack and consider the facts and apply a dose of logic.
Thx.
