Marist/McClatchy Poll (Mostly good news)

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

This link is more entertaining than most polling links. Big cool table.

The Marist headline is comically uninformative: "Turnout Key for Midterm Elections"

Highlights...

Dems by 6% among registered voters
Likely voters tied at 46%
Pugs by 6% among Most Likely to Vote

Land-line interviews tied
Dems lead almost 2 to 1 among cell-phone interviews

Amazing split on economic optimism:

Voters who say the economic worst is yet to come: D-32% R-56%
The worst is behind us voters: D-63% R-27%

7. It'll Be Interesting To See How These Likely Voter Screens Pan Out

Obviously there are some very, very big discrepancies in these screens.

3. They called me today!

Land line. I was a good Dem on everything, but I honestly couldn't answer the economic question.

4. Wow. That's fast turn-around

[Demoiselle]

5. I have no idea whether I figured into today's released numbers or not, of course.

8. Pugs by 6% among Most Likely to Vote

That is terrible.
