WI-Marquette: Feingold +3

[publicunofficial]

I don't really consider Feingold a socialist FTR.

Would you consider this guy a socialist?

Yes, duh

How could one NOT consider him socialist? He was a member of the Socialist Party, after all. Whoever refused to seat him was a massive FF. Berger was one of the worst Representatives of all time.

You two are children.

No, you're just trolling. Berger is someone who was obviously a socialist.

It's worth noting that Marquette has pretty consistently vascillated between a small Feingold lead and a large Feingold lead. I'll wait until their next poll before I get concerned.

Meh, I'll wait for the next one to confirm the tightening before I get worried. This happened before actually.

Marquette   9/24 - 9/28   803 RV   50   36   Feingold +14
Marquette   8/13 - 8/16   803 RV   47   42   Feingold +5
Marquette   4/7 - 4/10   803 RV   54   38   Feingold +16

I agree with the claim that they probably got a slightly more conservative sample and the prior won was probably more liberal. Just look at Walker's approval numbers, they had a 5 point bump come out of nowhere (nothing happened to justify that) the only other time his numbers spiked was right before the primary, before dropping again. I agree with IceSpear and we should just wait to see what the numbers look like after Labor Day when they poll again.

Also the idea that Russ Feingold is a socialist is laughable.

A massive 8-point swing just confirms that it's more likely Marquette got a pretty pro-Republican sample rather than real movement in both races.

Marquette is THE polling site for New Hampshire. I trust them over monmouth any day.

Marquette is the gold standard for polling Wisconsin, though I am not sure if they also poll New Hampshire.

I suspect Feingold will probably end up winning 52-47 or something like that in the end. The polls showing him up by huge margins were always going to be wrong. Still, that last ~5% or so is going to be difficult for Johnson to find a way to get.
