Too good to be true

Poll puts Doyle lead at 13 percent; Green disputes itI agree with Green. (Mark that down.)

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Gov. Jim Doyle leads Republican challenger Mark Green by 13 points in a new poll released Thursday that was immediately disputed by a Green campaign spokesman as "flat out wrong."
The lead is more than double that shown in a survey released earlier this month.
The latest poll done by the St. Norbert College Survey Center and paid for both by the college and Wisconsin Public Radio surveyed 400 likely voters between Oct. 9 and Oct. 16. The margin of error was plus or minus 5 percentage points.
The poll showed the Democratic incumbent with 51 percent support and Green with 38 percent. Wisconsin Green Party candidate Nelson Eisman had 1 percent, with 7 percent undecided and 4 percent choosing other.
Best guess, from a variety of polls done in the last couple of weeks, is that the poll released yesterday by One Wisconsin Now, which had Doyle up 6 (7 among definite voters) is about right.

(Green Bay) – Congressman Mark Green's gubernatorial campaign is hailing recently released polling data as further evidence that “Mark Green is on track to be the next Governor of Wisconsin.”
While the Wisconsin Public Radio/St. Norbert College survey did show Doyle with a 45%-32% lead over Green, the findings were nearly identical to results released by the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute, Inc. (WPRI) in October. In that poll, Doyle also was shown to have a 13% lead over Green. However, among voters who know both Mark Green and Jim Doyle, Green held a commanding 16 point lead of 55% to 39%.

If your dreams do come true, gwc, perhaps both Bill and Doyle could teach English and spelling at your "parochal" school.
Very cool, gwc ... and you're a member of a school board. Perhaps the other members would like to see how you behave in public.
FYI: I retired at the age of 48 because I did not have to work anymore. What's your excuse?
Oh, the attempt at hippy humor is pretty lame. All of you uptight conservatives use it.
I'll be waiting for your next comment, because I will keep on shadowing you.
I just put a post up on my blog:

about Doyle's approve/disapprove numbers from the Survey USA tracking polls.
