84. Has Pennsylvania been the final proof that tea leaves are as accurate as polls?
I can't remember another race where poll numbers have been all over the map like this. We've gone from Clinton by 20% to Obama by 3% ? I'd really love for this to be true, but I'm left wondering what kind of pseudoscience pollsters rely on to generate their numbers. From now on, I think I will assign my own margin-of-error number of +/- 10% to all polls, regardless of the MOE they claim.
