Mark Adams at Dispassionate Liberal is enjoys diving into the numbers and has started State Poll Analysis over at his place.

If you like the nuts and bolts, Mark has them.

In this primary season I’ve become more interested in the information behind the numbers. It’s not so much that Candidate A won by n%, it’s the data behind n that’s informative and potentially indicative of trends. It won’t change my world, but patterns are always interesting.
At this point in the compressed schedule, trends is all there is to work with. Too bad more state universities aren’t into polling, they tend to produce better numbers.
