By comparison... they have the first tied presidentially, Obama won it by 4 in 2008. And they have Obama ahead by 19 in the 24th, 5 points more than he won it by in 2008.
Something tells me these polls ain't so good.

House polls are generally not perfect.
Oh, aye. The reason being that you can't take a scientifically unbiased sample of a given human population and that professional pollsters know how to cheat and get a representative-on-the-questions-they-care-for sample anyhow, in populations they know their way about. If House Districts had easily defined borders and stayed the same over lengthy periods of time, there'd soon be better polls of them.
