Except for what was considered the surprising reelection of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, political pollster Dr. Ron Faucheux, said that watching the election returns coming in Nov. 2 was “almost boring” because the outcome was expected.
In a video interview with Chuck Conconi on Focus Washington, Faucheux, who is president of Clarus Research Group, said he had been convinced that Nevada Democrat Reid would be defeated for several reasons including “about the worst economy in the country” and was a symbol of what the voters were protesting. If the Republicans had nominated a better candidate, he added, the outcome would have been different. He defeated Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle.
As to why the political polls were so accurate for this election, Faucheux explained that the Republican sweep across the country was expected because of the sheer volume of polling. In the important states of Ohio and Pennsylvania, Faucheux said there were some days when as many and three or four polls were released.
