(33,497 posts)22. You should identify that Gravis is a Republican polling firm just as Daily Kos does when...
they use their polls in their polling wrap:
FLORIDA (Rasmussen): Romney 49, Obama 47
FLORIDA (We Ask America--R): Romney 49, Obama 46, Others 1
MONTANA (The Mellman Group for JET PAC [DGA]--D): Romney 48, Obama 44
NEVADA (Gravis--R): Obama 49, Romney 48
NEW MEXICO (PPP): Obama 52, Romney 43
OHIO (Rasmussen): Obama 50, Romney 49
OHIO (We Ask America--R): Romney 47, Obama 46, Others 1
VIRGINIA (Rasmussen): Romney 49, Obama 48
VIRGINIA (We Ask America--R): Romney 48, Obama 45, Others 2
Gravis also has a poll out showing the GOP candidate for Senator in Nevada up by 16-points, totally unbelievable.
