Releasing an internal showing you losing? lol
Releasing an internal showing you at 40% when you're an incumbent? lol
Releasing an internal showing you at the GOP floor in your state? lol
Whoever told Kirk to release this should be fired.
No typical voter will think of it that way. It was released to promote the idea that the race is close, and given that no independent poll has been released since September (yes, really), it can do that very effectively.
The "typical voter" isn't even going to see it. And any half intelligent political junkie, media member, or campaign observer that does see it should come to the same conclusions I did.
