Winthrop/ETV: McCain leads in SC, Obama in NC and VA

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Gutter trash

Ya know, at some point someone has to accept some poll.

Back when we were kids playing sports, we used to either swing a baseball and miss, or flub up a billiards shot, or tap a golf ball the wrong way on mini-put, or gutter ball in bowling and we could claim "oooh that was just a practice shot" and everyone would be up in arms for a bit until we messed up again.  In other words, the "practice shot" claim was useful to get a second shot, but even the second shot revealed the true nature of our abilities.

How many times can we claim "practice shot", or "junk poll", with new polls?  Seriously?

As long as they are from unknown firms taken over such a ridiculous time period. And it seems a majority of polls this year are sh!t.

Winthrop is not an unknown firm.  It's a uni pollster from South Carolina (perhaps not much better than a totally unknown pollster).  They polled some southern states in the primary.

So yes, not much better.
