If this was anybody else, even a Zogby non-interactive, I'd be excited, but as it is....well, heads up anyway. Tongue

That's two polls showing West Virginia close... two low quality polls, but maybe someone at another firm wants to take a look to find out if it's still voting like Kentucky this year.

should be interesting, considering they have McCain up 3 nationally and show it that close in MT and WV........and by interesting I mean humorous.

Im sure McCain is up more nationally than in Montana

For the love of god... make it stop.  I wonder what polling firm ARG is going to steal their numbers from this time?

I'm just hoping no one enters these into the database and screws up the numbers.

I will enter them. Until such time as Dave removes ARG as a credible pollster, they should be held in the same esteem as Uni polls, PPP, Strategic Vision, and Research2000/Dkos.  More data is never bad

I will entertain, however, a discussion on pulling ARG of the acceptable poll list

Are these 27 states they think will be closest?

Which 24 are we getting? We have MT, WV, and NM.

ND, NC, FL, MO, IN? -Probably seen as Tossups or barely lean McCain.

WA, OR, NJ, MN, WI? -I'm guessing they mostly or all show solid Obama

VA, OH, NV? -Lean Obama

NH, MI, PA? -Likely Obama

CO? -Strong lean Obama

Just my guesses, if those are some of the states

This guess is based upon their first three polls

I love the comments under the main article of the link you gave.

"McCain leading WV by 4% is in line with the 5% lead in another recent poll.
The good news for McCain is that Bob Barr is not on the ballot in West Virginia."

"Without details on those polls, I love those numbers. 7 point lead in NM is solid, and if Obama can even come close to wining WV, that's a great sign!"

If anything, this should at least be entertaining, especially with the McCain up 3 part.
