The only argument this entire election for your Walker prediction has been "ignore every poll but the one that shows Walker doing OK because every other poll shows him losing."

They should use you in poli sci classes as the Gold Standard in how to not interpret polls. Classic confirmation bias if I ever saw it. That is, unless you're just trolling, which is the most probable answer here, in which case you should just go in a Hall Of Fame for assholes.

C'mon, Virginia. You know better than to defend Emerson of all pollsters. Why is it trolling to doubt their numbers while throwing less doubt to Marquette? 

It's not about Emerson. It's just about this behavior of deciding what you want and then selectively tossing out anything that challenges that view. It's clear as day with you.

I fear some shy Walker voters. Let's see.
Yep, I'm thinking this is what's going on too. Just like the shy Trump voter effect struck in most of the Midwest.

User: I'm worried about [issue] and that [Walker] may win, for [reason]

hofoid: Yeah me too, this exact reason.
