Connie Mack would be terrible for the state of Florida. He was rotten in Tallahassee and would be worse in Washington.

First Read is in love with Quinipiac polls, since they show better results for Democrats...

Why not report Rasmussen, also?

Ohio Senate: Brown (D) 43%, Mandel (R) 43%

Virginia Senate: Allen (R) 46%, Kaine (D) 44%

Wisconsin Senate: Thompson (R) 48%, Baldwin (D) 44%

Because if we look at the history of Rasmussen polls, it favors the right.

And if we look at the history of Ipsos, it favors the left.

Since this seems to be the case in the majority of polls conducted, one can safely reach the assumption both polls are 'unbalanced' and 'outliers'.

Statistically speaking, you ignore 'Outliers', since they are proven to be either false or abnormalities in the trend.

    It does not matter what the polls say. What matters most for Americans is a clean sweep of the conservatives right out the door! Then maybe, this country can be turned around from all of the repubs bad policies and laws? OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
