Good news for McCain here... so apparently R2000 wants us to believe that McCain is down 12 nationally and only 1 in MO? Hmm..
Sorry to burst your bubble, but these two things use completely different weighting mechanisms.
I think R2K's state-wide and district-wide polls, while a few percent biased towards Obama, are generally pretty accurate.
Obviously McCain has relatively good information in Missouri since Obama keeps cutting ad spending there, but not THAT significantly. I think it's a bit cuckoo for anyone to analyze a poll that's only slightly favorable to their enemy and declare that it's good news because it
should be such and such more favorable than it is.
