Great logic, lets just shift the race to the bias it had in 2012. That's how you read a poll Atlas Forum style.
Yeah. I mean, even putting aside the Thompson result for a second, their last poll had Walker up 16 even as everyone else was showing him up 3-7.
That said, it's possible they just got better at polling. In fact, that's almost certainly the explanation, since if they still retained their Republican bias from 2012/early 2014 it would mean in reality Burke had a hefty lead, which quite obviously isn't the case. But either way, it's horrible news for Walker that his best poll now shows him in a dead heat.
Walker is in trouble, I obviously see that. But this is just 1 point away from the most recent Marquette poll and just 2 points away from the recent Rasmussen poll. We're equating this to Burke having a lead when no other evidence says that's the case.
