It's an above average university poll. Valid in Pennsylvania only.

(Used to be called the Keystone Poll, if anyone remembers that)

It's a college. A good poll for Pennsylvania, but I don't think I've ever seen a national poll from them before. Treat with extreme caution; the large LV-RV difference is almost certainly the result of problematic screening.

I do, and they were absolutely wretched in 2004.

your signature is at least kind of a joke, right?

This guy, Terry Madonna, is great, when he polls PA.  It's a university poll outside of that.

There was a nation poll a few months ago that showed McCain at +2, which was about average.

If this were a poll of PA, I'd be taking notice.
