What just happened to wisconsin?

[Goldom]

I don't live there to be sure, but I saw WI had a new poll released today on electoral-vote, and looked at the state graph

and Kerry just dropped about 7 points within the month.

1. Looks like that particular poll always favors Bush

Notice on the graph of Wisconsin polls, that the numbers "bounce" around a lot. But virtually all of the bounce is due to that one poll (labelled as "Other"), which has never showed Kerry ahead in Wisconsin.

The Zogby poll, on the other hand, has consistent shown Kerry ahead.

What you believe depends on who you trust, I guess.

2. Wisconsin numbers are screwy. They bounce around a lot.

Nothing really happened there other than normal Wisconsin oddness.

4. That looks like an aberration.

A big spike for Kerry, then just as big a drop. Feh! Polls!

5. When Dem Strategist was here I agreed with her/him about ignoring polls

I got an A in Introductory Statistics, I usually ignore POLITICAL polls most of all.

People in Wisconsin loathe George W. Bush and the Tommy Thompson gang in Madison.

Nothing noteworthy happened in Wisconsin, Goldom.
