Some conventional wisdom got sorely tested today, in the relatively smallish sampling of polls released on this primary Tuesday (if you are voting in Nebraska, Idaho, and Oregon).
President Obama is in trouble!
(Unless you count New Hampshire, where a new poll has him outpacing his 2008 margins. Or even the House of Ras, where has made up 6 points in three days)
President Obama is doing just fine!
(Unless you count Wisconsin, where PPP has the state at just a one-point margin)
A Republican can't win in the House in Massachusetts!
(Unless you buy a new poll by a Republican challenger, one that has him leading a veteran Democratic House incumbent)
The gubernatorial race in North Carolina is a lost cause!
(Except PPP has the Democrat halving the Republican lead, in the wake of a competitive primary).
Let's get to the numbers:
