UCONN Hartford Courant poll has Obama up by 21% in Connecticut

By Steve McGough / September 20, 2012 /

It’s not surprising to me that President Obama will win re-election in Connecticut, but I just want to remind people the polls mean absolutely nothing … the only poll that matters is election day.

I’ve been polled: Connecticut governor’s race

By Steve McGough / October 14, 2009 / Comments Off on I’ve been polled: Connecticut governor’s race

If you’re one of those people who wonders who those pollsters are calling, look no further. Somehow, I got on a list and just got off the phone with a nice woman from Issues & Answers Network, Inc. (I think), a marketing research company out of Virginia Beach. The poll was quite specific to Connecticut…

Unbelievably so … at least according to the latest polls. Here’s the New York story … and here’s an earlier post on the other battlegrounds. Of course this kind of stuff  can turn on a dime … but maybe these numbers are why the Democrats are starting to sweat. Update: I forgot about Minnesota ……

Katie Couric wrong – 59% conservative, not 42% independent

By Steve McGough / October 29, 2009 /

I’m bored with polling and disappointed on how twisted the analysis can be. It all depends on how the question is asked and the context.

Michelle Malkin endorses Rick Santorum – Don’t be afraid of the conservative

By Steve McGough / January 30, 2012 /

This morning, Michelle Malkin published a well-thought post providing the conservative perspective as it applies to the four remaining GOP candidates for president. She will support former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) for president.
