It would be nice to have a link to some posted numbers or details.

The site you posted provides nothing.

By: MLEFLO1 (O-IL) - 2006-06-08 @ 06:44:26

The link is www.ktuu.com or www.dcpoliticalreport.com.

Oh, wait. I remember this polling company. It's the one associated with Democrats who said they were Independent pollsters and kept giving us numbers that they said were correct, leading me to think that Knowles would beat Murkowski.

I'm willing to listen to them once again, since they're probably the only poll we're going to get out of Alaska, but I won't trust them.

By: MLEFLO1 (O-IL) - 2006-06-08 @ 17:34:31

But don't you listen to Strategic Vision or Mason Dixon they are the GOP pollsters. And this poll is more dem leaning. All polls are influenced by political parties.

Its important that the actual primary source of the poll is referenced (via the url link). Secondary sources may not be accurate. The link above just re-routes me to the home page. If you can find the primary source of this poll on-line, please edit and add it - otherwise, this poll will be marked for deletion.
Thanks,
Dave

The correct site is ktuu.com/cms/anmviewer.asp?a=5117=1 Mr. Leip.
Ok Mr. Leip I finally found the poll where you can find it
http://hotlineblog.nationaljounal.com/archives/2006/06/the_big_number_l.html that is the web site. And the numbers are Knowles 53-21% for Murkowski. Mr. Leip you can go to either one of the web sites. And SamSpade that is another poll done by hotline and it is not biased.

MLEFLO1, it's nice to see someone adding polls, but would you mind standardising your poll names to the format used for all of the others? It does look a bit sloppy.

By: MLEFLO1 (O-IL) - 2006-06-12 @ 14:34:28

This race is a tossup depending on the primary results.

MLEFLO1, Mason-Dixon is an independent polling firm. They are not available for hire by candidates of either party.

By: MLEFLO1 (O-IL) - 2006-06-28 @ 06:52:20

Always talking about Mason Dixon. The president is at 37% approval rating and he is going to lose seats. And on who would you vote for in general Dems lead 54-38%. Those are the facts.

And those polls aren't good enough, back in 2002 and 2004 most people approved of the war, but now 52% want a timetable for an immediate withdrawal of troops.

Lastly, Mason-Dixon, strategic vision, and rasmussen over sample republicans. Among the likely voters, they have more republicans than the other surverys.
