Sigh. I hate when all polling firms fudge their #'s. I like to look at every poll in order to decide where the race is going and I like to average them all together. I even look at Rasmussen though I know they robo poll and are R-leaning. This is so bogus and so blatant that it makes me more sad then angry. Doug Kaplan is an asshole.
