Is this one of those "informed ballot" polls? 

I doubt it, since Tarrance is a respectable pollster. (I can't rule it out entirely—they clearly asked issue-related questions, but it appears they were done after the head-to-head.)

FWIW, Tarrance also did a generic ballot question, and voters preferred a generic Republican 48% to 35% over a generic Democrat in this district.

Look, even respectable pollster can do crappy polls if the client requests it.

Not if I was running the polling firm. Credibility should matter here, moreso than anywhere else.

Well you don't run this one. Just as you clearly don't run Strategic Vision (to give an example of one that blew all their credibility away over basically nothing.)

I didn't say I did, but thanks to the anonymity of the Internet, I suppose you can never know for sure whether I'm a polling magnate or not. Fun!
