I think we always need to be reminded that some polls are just plain wrong…
U.S. Senator Rick Santorum has gained ground in his bid to win re-election, according to a new poll released Monday. The poll of 800 very likely general election voters, was conducted by McCulloch Research & Polling, an independent polling company out of Chicago, on November 4-5. Santorum's opponent, State Treasurer Bob Casey, Jr., led the incumbent Senator 48.1-44.1%, according to the poll. "Senator Santorum has a history of closing hard at the end of his campaigns," said pollster Rod McCulloch. "It looks like this campaign will be no different."
Final tally: Casey at 59%, Santorum at 41%. A difference of eighteen points.
