ABC is considered at or near the top. CBS always seems to favor Dem's so take it with a grain of salt. I find the tracking polls to be the most interesting because they are up-to-the-minute and most clearly indicate how the public is reacting to external events as they happen.

They love McCain and know all about Deval Patrick being a screw-up. Don't let MSNBC tell you NH is blue or a toss-up; it will be RED come November.

For the first time in his 24-year Senate career, Kerry is being challenged in the Democratic primary in September. His challenger is a newcomer named Ed O'Reilly (who looks just like Joe Kennedy, oddly enough). O'Reilly was able to grab 23% of the vote at the state convention in June. That made him eligible to be on the primary ballot. Now Kerry has to spend time and money this summer to protect his seat. There is also a general belief that he will be offered a high profile job in an Obama administration so he would be gone anyway. He is definitely in trouble with his constituents.

The breakdown numbers that CBS gives are based on ALL respondents (1034), not just the 906 registered voter respondents, weighted down to 851 registered voter respondents. It turns out that their weighting for registered voters isn't that bad (27% Republican, 39% Democrat and 28% unaffiliated). Real problem is that registered Democrats are far less likely to vote in the general election than registered Republicans. That's why you see the difference of 6 points here, but only 1 point at Rasmussen (who uses Likely Voters, instead of Registered Voters). The details are important to unscrambling why there's an apparent difference. I saw this posted on Pollster as well.
