All anyone needs to know about ARG is they had Obama at 50% in WV in 2008, then after all the other polls showed it to be crap their results suddenly matched the others.

That's actually pretty accurate-looking. If we distribute undecided AA's in the same ratios decided AA's have fallen, we're looking at Obama taking 94.7% and Romney taking 5.3%. Which is pretty much the Obama/McCain margin.

Good to see that Obama is actually ahead, considering it's ARG and you have to assume the opposite of what they are showing is right.

what a bizarre time to conduct a national poll, halfway through one of the conventions. Could be accurate, maybe not. Who knows?

I hope the other big pollsters wait a few days and let both conventions sink in before going back into the field with polls. Until then we will continue to have the trackers and periodic (and perhaps less than reliable) polls to argue about.

Meanwhile, Nate Silver gives Obama his best chance yet (77.3%).

You really shouldn't defend an ARG survey here... it's just bad forum etiquette
