Swann may need to take a look at the Steele model, if the latest Quinnipiac poll is correct. But, depending on the partisan/ideological lean of the institution polling (with the exception of Rasmussen which seems to be the most balanced), we might find some inconsistencies. Still, Swann could be a victim of Bush Fatigue, and he may need to downplay his Republican roots, like Steele in Maryland.
