You Be the Pundit: What are the Numbers?

A friend of ours says blogging isn't just about exposure- shoving a story out for people to see- but it's really about a conversation between the person blogging and the people reading and writing comments.

So, to fill what seems to a slow news day, we'd like to hear your gut instincts about where the Republican primary really is at this point. We've seen these poll numbers:

Mid-April 08 (from the Jenkins Campaign)
Ryun..........50
Jenkins.......34

Mid-May 08 (from the Ryun Campiagn)
Ryun..........65
Jenkins.......21
So...which one is closer? Has Jenkins closed the gap? Has Ryun pulled ahead? We've had a couple of people comment here about a rumored Jenkins poll that was in the field a few weeks ago...what did it show?

And what about Congresswoman Nancy Boyda? What's does her district think of her? We know there hasn't been any public polling on that point...but we're interested in your gut reaction

Have fun!

Ryun-Jenkins: 44-42-14 R-J-Un

What does it all mean Basil? The Jenkins poll in April was a weighted subsect of a larger poll and the public numbers were of people who knew of both her and Jim with no weight given to likely voters. So it shows she is closing the gap when comparing apples to apples.

Ryun's public numbers from May are also a weighted subsect of a larger poll. His numbers are from only people identified as republicans who are likely to vote in August with no weight given to name recognition. So it shows that of people who know him 2/3 would vote for him. It leaves you to wonder though if Jenkins can get enough ID to effect those numbers in a month and a half.

Unfavorables:
Ryun 41%
Boyda 40%
Jenkins 12% (no one knows her)
