Some of the results from the overall user poll are, shall we say, surprising. 81.88% of respondents think Steve Pearce will finish less than 9 points behind? Really? 87.7% of respondents think Bob Schaffer will finish less than 4 points behind? The masses have some strange predictive skills, or else supposedly informed people have no idea what is going on.

My least popular vote was for Lynn Jenkins finishing less than 3 points behind. My most popular was for Jack Hoogendyk finishing less than 28 points behind.


Also interesting that the net Senate vote is for a 57-41-2 Senate, but the only realistic way that could happen is if the Democrats win Minnesota and Oregon, both of which the predictive masses give to the Republicans.
