I do want to say if you can't do a poll of 500+ voters within 2-3 days then don't do it at all.

Quite literally many different events and issues can occur in Pennsylvania or the world in general for 8 days and ruin polls. People's attitudes can change. Advertisements for the GOP Governor race for instance have only just started to go up in the last week for instance. I believe the Democrats are leading almost certainly. But not by 48-32 margins. This is the same crap that occurred with Corbett's Governor race too. Democrats then ended up only barely winning by 10 in a race they were supposed to win by +25 from the "polls." Either treat PA like every other state and poll it within 2-3 days and have a nice sample or don't do it at all.
- End rant.

I'll cede 4. The other 3 that you stated are completely wrong. Polling NORMALLY should be done within 2-3 days to get an accurate snap shot of the electorate regardless. Public opinion shifts naturally, however, no one sees that public opinion shifts if your poll is a 8 to sometimes 14 days long, why? Because the likelihood many major events can happen in such a time period goes up astronomically and can effect what the responses will be.

Delusional? Hardly I am well aware the GOP is in for a tough election, any Republican that doesn't think that is probably not with it. What's delusional is that you have to write a post to try and put people down and be rude because I am simply complaining that PA cannot get accurate snapshot polls like PPP, Marist, or Quinnipiac on a regular basis and instead we are left with this GARBAGE.

hilariously Lou Barletta is going to do worse than a guy who was pretty close to a rando in 2012 did against Bob Casey.

That rando had a ton of money.

And I think he died tbh.
