Pederson Pulls Within 5 Points

The recently released Wall Street Journal / Zogby Interactive poll shows that Jon Kyl’s numbers have taken a dive as Pederson’s remain steady, making this a 5 point race.

I can’t do a link since WSJ doesn’t allow it – so instead here is a screen shot of the results and the trendline.

There will be a lot of talk about the suspect methodology of this poll. In fact, I personally have questioned it in the past when it showed Don “I now have supporters” Goldwater running near even with Janet. But, as I always say, when you don’t trust the way a poll is conducted focus on the trendlines. And the trendlines show good news.

Since the polling is done the same way each time, you can look at even “suspect” results to judge possible MOVEMENT. Looking at this poll shows that there is a good decline in the works for Kyl, with him once agin below 50%.

Why is this happening now? Well I don’t know, but I do know WHAT this means. It means that the time is JUST RIGHT for the Pederson campaign to come roaring out of its corner to land a few choice hits on the stumbling Kyl to knock his ass out.

I know the CW in the blogosphere is that Pederson isn’t doing anything and is blowing his chance to win … but hang tight folks. I have a feeling this shit is about to get VERY interesting.

UPDATE: The same outfit has a Napolitano poll that shows her beating a tanking Goldwater by 10 points and a “surgin” Munsel by 17.
