45. Not all polls are equal and that map is suspect
A couple of us have already posted about that map--

The California ARG poll has already been debunked, and a few of the states are based on Strategic Vision polls. Check out their site--they represent a couple of right wingers (Sam Brownback and Larry Klayman)and some minor candidates for school board and state assembly.

I just don't think you can adjust the map based only on posting the latest poll. The highly flawed ARG poll does not equal the reliable Field poll in California. The Strategic Vision operation may or may not be reliable--but I don't put much stock in that thing.

My brother and I were thinking about starting our own polling company this morning. If these pr hacks can do it, why not us.

A little off the subject but...it seems if basis for the the tv yakkers touting the impact of the Scumboat Liars is a survey done by Muhlenberg College (an evangelical Lutheran school) and HDC, which, until recently, did surveys for pharmaceutical companies. It was posted on Free Republic.

I'm not criticizing every poll that doesn't go our way; it's just that this constant polling by anyone who sets up shop as a pr group is getting absurd.
