MP readers may want to check out the new feature from Washington Post blogger/columnist Chris Cillizza (aka "The Fix") called "Parsing the Polls." Each week, says Cillizza,
We’ll look at national polling as well as surveys conducted in individual House, Senate and gubernatorial races each week in an attempt to give Fix readers a sense of what the mood is not only in your state but also across the country.
The first installment reviews recent political polls out in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Check it out.

Hello Mark,
Speaking of “the fix”, I’ve been hoping to see some comments on this: http://www.votelaw.com/blog/archives/003513.html
Is that on the agenda?
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

No thanks. I prefer to read polls parsed by people who understand polling.
