The Tarrance group without Lake Snell and Perry came shockingly close in this election.

Rasmussen seems to have proven himself as trustworthy as well.

I don't have the state poll data in front of me, but it looks like Zogby's state polls were way off again, Gallup's state polls were pretty goofy. Mason-Dixon seems to have done the best from what I've seen the past few hours.

Lets analyze the polls so we can get a better picture of what to trust and what to throw out in 2006 and beyond.

Who are the winners, and the losers?

I'm through with polls for a good long while...

What I need is some prescription drugs.
