Palin 47% Obama 47%: Turnaround & Why Marist Poll Is No Fluke
So, there has been much debate about a recent Marist Poll that shows Sarah Palin within 5% of Barack Obama and whether or not this is a fluke. For one thing, the numbers are actually closer to 47% Palin, 47% Obama, a tie. The Marist poll actually oversample Democrats compared to Republicans by 8 points, and oversamples both of them with Independents. (There has been a rise in Indy voters, but not to the tune of almost 40% of the population. Using historical trends, the anticipated 2012 Voter Turnout rate is 36% D, 36% R, 28% I. If your prefer the Rasmussen Partisan Preference it’s essentially a 3-way tie at 33.5% R, 33% D, and 33.5% I. In either scenario, you end up with a 47-47 tie.”

It just so happens that my poll(from McClatchy Newspapers who are no friends of Sarah Palin) is much more current that yours, so it's no use clutching to your crappy poll like sme desperate bride, that has been abandoned by her husband, clutches to her ring.
And answer the question
The poll I was referring to was released TODAY or did you not look at the date?
