1. I wish this would be greeted as good news here but I am afraid it won't be.

3. I think it is still early, never can tell the R's may break in a fist fight on live TV.

2. There should be an asterisk somewhere.

This is only true if lazy Democrats get their butts to the polls . . . unlike last Tuesday. I can't believe they stayed home when it was a life or death issue on the line in Kentucky. If they don't come out for the presidential election. no poll is going to save us.

[LiberalArkie]

4. It is Kentucky.

On edit. And the conservatives did run the voting machines.

[Vinca]

5. I know and I know we typically lose lots of races in "off year" elections, but

the Obama level of excitement isn't there and I'm afraid if young people and minorities sit out the election we'll have a rude awakening come election night.

On edit: As far as I know they still own all the voting machine companies and the software is still proprietary.

7. It is the same in Arkansas, but the difference is ours are the same dates as the nationals.

We don't do that off season thing like Louisiana and some others do. That crap was started back in the conservative Democratic era. And never changed when there were some Liberal Democrats in office.

[George II]

9. I have to hope that the Democrats nationally will have a huge GOTV effort - we're much more...

...organized than the republicans.

6. A great October pays off in November!! That is awesome news.

Thank you for posting this.

8. Also in the poll results...

Though I'm not surprised it wasn't mentioned by the OP.

Sanders would lose to Carson by 2 percentage points and defeat Rubio by 3, Bush by 10, Cruz or Trump by 12, and Fiorina by 14.[/div class="excerpt"]

11. It wasn't mentioned at the link I gave, thank you. Maybe they figured it was only worth...

....mentioning the ultimate nominee vs. each republican?

[HerbChestnut]

12. You linked to RCP

which only displayed the results of the GOP nomination. To get the full results I had to click on the poll link on RCP.

10. I can picture Goodman's head exploding. nt

13. you better hope so

And you better hope she can get people to the polls. Because she's going to be a big drag on downballot races where I am.
