1) Nate Silver found it to have a Republican-leaning house effect in Michigan. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/22/calculating-house-effects-of-polling-firms/
2) It predicted a 12% Walker recall victory in WI. He won by 7%. Scroll down in this page to find the Wisconsin polling accuracy analysis performed by ARG: http://americanresearchgroup.com/
3) A new We Ask America poll has George "Macaca" Allen leading Democrat Kaine by 9%, despite all the latest polls (even Rasmussen) giving Kaine a small lead over Macaca. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/senate/va/virginia_senate_allen_vs_kaine-1833.html

She also asked if I would vote for Kane even knowing that Allan had a perfect record in his ability to blah blah...at that point I got irritated and asked to speak to someone about this very biased questioning and...she hung up!
