SSP Poll Roundup: 10/8

  • MA-Sen: Lake Research, the hired gun of Martha Coakley, has some pretty unsurprising results for the Democratic Senate primary in Massachusetts. Coakley, the state AG, leads Rep. Michael Capuano by 47-12. Despite having quite a bit of money in the bank, Stephen Pagliuca and Alan Khazei both look like non-factors at this point, at just 4 and 1%, respectively.
  • MO-Sen: Missouri continues to look like the brightest spot for Democratic pick-up hopes in the Senate next year. Momentum Analysis, another Dem pollster, finds Robin Carnahan ahead of Roy Blunt by 48-45.
  • WI-Sen: The wonks over at the University of Wisconsin decided to test the improbable match-up of ex-Gov. Tommy Thompson vs. Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold. Thompson leads Feingold by 43-39, but, as Josh Goodman notes, his recent endorsement of health care reform sure doesn’t seem like the actions of a guy jonesing for another dip in the partisan electoral hot tub.
  • NH-Gov: UNH, home of the incredible gyrating sample, decided to test ex-Gov. John H. “Big Papa” Sununu against Democratic Gov. John Lynch. Lynch wins 50-37.
  • NYC-Mayor: Is something happening here? SurveyUSA’s first post-primary poll of the NYC Mayoral election is showing a surprisingly close race: 51-43 for Michael Bloomberg. Sadly, I doubt that Thompson will be aggressive enough in the closing weeks to actually threaten the Royal Bloomsbury.
  • WA-Init: SUSA has dipped its thermometer into the latest civil rights battle in Washington. R-71, the referendum on expanded domestic partnership (i.e. marriage in all but name), has a slim 45-42 edge. (Note: this is the complete opposite of Maine in terms of ballot wording; here, “yes” is a vote in favor of keeping domestic partnership.)

  1. I don’t think aggressiveness or the lack thereof is his problem. What’s his positive message for why people should vote for him?

  3. The concise description of R-71 is pretty simple:

    per http://approvereferendum71.org…

    This bill would expand the rights, responsibilities, and obligations accorded state-registered same-sex and senior domestic partners to be equivalent to those of married spouses, except that a domestic partnership is not a marriage.

    What was that Rasmussen said about Newsom losing to all the Repubs? Piffle! I still support Jerry Brown mind.

  6. I love Dems’ aggressiveness toward NY-23.  This is a CFG classic teamkiller.  I’ll be interested to see fundraising numbers here, and I hope they give me the chance to point and laugh when Republicans screw up an easy win again.
