They must have surveyed the White House press pool. Or Zero's cabinet. There are a bunch of other crazy results from that Bloomberg poll, like Romney might win Utah if he's lucky and that's about it. Fortunately, this isn't what Gallup and Rasmussen are reporting. My guess is that they corrected party ID according to 2008 results and not 2010 results. Or it's just a bogus poll. "Two unemployed college grads with a laptop and a cell phone, Inc.".

I'm way better off than I was four years ago. This down economy has been great for taking advantage of other people's losses!

They once called me a warped, frustrated, old man but it's a wonderful life.
