4. Yuck but the Senate numbers suck...

In the race for the Wisconsin Senate seat, if the election were held today, for whom would you vote?
(ROTATE NAMES):
Tommy Thompson ...................................................46%
Tammy Baldwin .......................................................43%
Other (vol) ............................................................0%
Neither, will not vote (vol) .......................................2%
Not Sure ............................................................ 8%
Refused ............................................................1%

7. That's the worst I've seen in some time, but it should still be ok.

I assume that even though there's not incumbent, Thompson's universal name recognition essentially makes him the incumbent from a polling perspective. Those 8% undecided shouldn't break in his direction.

12. Baldwin's numbers have declined over the past couple of weeks

She has been hit very hard by Thompson. He was losing for a while and has fought back with a strong close to his campaign.

Baldwin was ahead in 2 other polls this week though, so she may still win by a small margin, and Nate Silver still shows her as the favorite.

And I think you yourself said last week you are confident she will win?

10. Good news, but 402 is a really small sample size n/t

11. So who are the missing 7% voting for? Are there significant numbers

of people who are planning to vote for one of the other candidates? Are there that many who honestly haven't made up their minds yet?
