MN: Klobuchar raises over $1.2 million

If you are going to call a poll bogus, it's inappropriate to attempt to use it to assume the other candidate is really doing much better.  The poll should be dismissed outright or taken as it is; otherwise it is manipulating the numbers to suit personal assumptions.

The exception to this rule in my mind is generally party-sponsored polls where adjusting the MoE to be the best for the non-sponsored candidate would result in a win for that candidate (i.e. a poll by the West Virginia GOP showing Capito up by 1 could be assumed as a lead for Byrd).

He didn't use it to do that.

He said he "might as well call this a pro-Kennedy poll."  I was just pointing out the invalidity of that idea, even if he agrees with it or not.
