More Weird Survey USA polls--NC & OH Senate races
Edited on Wed Sep-15-10 09:07 AM by WI_DEM
I'm not sure I trust Survey USA this cycle. They are worse than Rassmussen and some of their findings are just plain weird such as their poll in Washington Senate--where Rossi was up by 7 and tied with Murray in Seattle--an area she got 59% in the open primary (the respected Elway poll of WA came out yesterday and gave Murray a 9-point lead including 61% in Seattle) and then they have consistently shown younger voters as favoring the GOP--they may not vote, but I doubt they have suddenly turned into republicans. Anyways here are a couple of their new polls--NC is particularly brutal:

North Carolina

2010 Senate
58% Burr (R), 34% Marshall (D), 6% Beitler (L) (chart)

In looking at the demos more weirdness they have Burr getting 26%! of the black vote--I don't think so and tied with Marshall in the Raleigh/Durham area?

SurveyUSA
9/10-13/10; 641 likely voters, 3.9% margin of error
Mode: Automated phone
(SurveyUSA release

2010 Senate
49% Portman (R), 40% Fisher (D) (chart)

Weird stuff here too with Portman getting 23% of the black vote, running nearly even in Cleveland and with double digit leads in Dayton and Toledo??

1. I'm dubious about these NC results
There's simply no way Burr is doing that well among black voters, or here in the Triangle.
