A set of New York Times/Kaiser Family Foundation polls on Southern Senate races and ObamaCare created quite a brouhaha last week, eliciting a level of vitriol not seen since the “unskewers” rose up in reckless disregard of reality during the presidential race.
At some level, the invective is hard to understand. These polls lead to the same macro-conclusion most others have reached about these races: that anyone who writes off the chances of the Southern Senate Democrats at this stage is foolish. Clearly these polls reflect the same reality GOP groups see. Otherwise, they would not be continuing to pour millions of dollars into negative ads in these states. CONT.
