UPDATE: Check out the PPIC’s more recent (and more realistic) poll.  Much better sounding for us…

A real mixed bag.  Note that the Hoover Institution is a conservative think tank on the campus of Stanford. Also Note: Knowledge Networks conducts their polling online but recruits their survey respondents using the phone.  Here’s a Press Release and here’s a PDF of the results.

It’s looking good on 76, but rather shaky on several others, especially 75.  We really need to focus on giving 75 a chance.  Now, the polling numbers from all the different polling companies are wildly different, but the fact remains that there is a lot of work yet to be done.
