States you would like to see polls

I would like to see South Carolina out of curiosity. McCain only won it by 9 points and there have been no 2012 polls.
I would like to see a legitimate Georgia poll. Insider Advantage doesn't count.

I think all of these states are closer than they were in 2008. I would love to see one or more of these move to the toss-up category.

I don't think there has been a major statewide Presidential poll there in many months. My suspicion is that they have drifted from "solid Republican" to "likely," or even "barely."

Tennessee has a Senate race that was supposed to be in the bag for the GOP, but Mark Clayton appears to be within striking distance....

I'd like to see the President drop in on Tennessee and remind voters that their esteemed Republican Senator voted to raise taxes on Tennesseans by an average of $1600 a year. If he picks the state up for himself, great. If he swings the state for Clayton, a filibuster-proof Senate in 2015 becomes a genuine possibility.

So far, the only polling survey calls I've gotten have been...odd.
All but one have been crude Republican push polls. The one that wasn't wanted my opinion on such luminaries as corporate commissioners and others so far down the ticket that I had to look them up afterwards to find out who they were. Made me wonder who payed for the survey...and why.

I'm curious to see what the early turnout numbers look like.

And yes, polls aren't very clear. One thing we know is that it will be a tight race.

Voter Registration as of 10/02/2012 Democratic: 2,757,212 Republican: 2,006,243 Libertarian: 16,782 Unaffiliated: 1,648,342
Total: 6,428,579

Also, Connecticut needs to be polled. The last few polls have shown Obama with a smaller lead than in 2008.
I would like to see the state re-polled with a large sample (1000+/-).
