PA: Susquehanna Romney +4 (old poll)

[Speed of Sound]

What on God's sweet green Earth is this nonsense? Good lord what a failure of a poll.

They must have taken this during the hurricane.

I'd love to help Susq save face with that argument, but as Trapper notes, they somehow had Romney +4 in mid-October, too. They just seem to be absolutely failing at some level of polling.


Just for reference, so we're clear, special little election-only posters, Susquehanna has been a gargantuan outlier all season:

Another fun note: Only Siena once and Pulse once have also ever shown Obama to have under 48% support in any poll, and the last other one to show that? October 8th. Somehow Susq has Obama at 45%? That's hilariously outlying.

I think that with this thread, the 2012 boards have officially sunk below the abyss. We now make /b/ look like a haven of intellectual thought and discourse.

You know this makes me long for the Politico days........

At least Politico had enough of a functioning brain to argue and use words like "chicanery". Cliffy/dirks/rockhound may actually have learning disabilities (not to insult the kids I've volunteered with).

Politico... Another great objective source... Go cite the New York Times or Huff Post while you're at it.

In this case I think he's actually referencing the pre-Cliffy/krazen insane blabbering conservative who used to run around here posting like rockhound or heatmaster. Boy, there's a lot of you.
