How so ?

Their results are not much different than PPP polls that were done at the same time they did their polls ...

1) They use decimals.
2) Now PPP is saying that Michaud leads by 8, a 6 points increase compared with the last time. So now, it's impossible Lepage is leading right now.

Using decimals does not make a poll wrong: That's like saying a car is worse just because it has a seat warming system, which another car has not.

And: Nothing is impossible. But I'd like to see other polls as well.

No, this is like saying a car from a company is failing because all previous cars built by the company failed before

Well, if it helps - Pan SMS group had much better polls than a lot of other pollsters in the 2010 Gov. race (especially better polls than PPP).

They also did well in 2012 (Pres. and Senate).

I'm still highly sceptical aboiut this pollster.
