[Mr. Morden]

While I do think it's sketchy to poll on a holiday, my naive guess would be that it wouldn't make quite as much of an impact on response rates for an internet poll as it would for a phone poll.  For a phone poll, you actually have to be there, answering the phone, at the moment that the call comes in.  Not quite the same for an internet poll.

That's not to say that Morning Consult is a good pollster.  I don't think it is.  But I'm not sure that we should be especially more skeptical of this one than any of their other polls.
