This info is presented in rat-speak. In rat-speak if a rat is ahead, he is ahead margin or no margin. If a Republican is ahead, and it's within the margin, it's a dead heat. By the way this is a zomby poll and so is the one showing mclawyer in a "dead heat" with Jeb. Yesterday Chuck Todd on C-Span could not really keep a straight face when he mentioned zomby's two latest "master pieces" Minnesota and Missouri, he wondered, out loud, how races that have had no dramatic news in ten days, could swing 14 or 15 points. I don't wonder. zomby has admitted a rat bias and it shows.

I agree with your observations how the media spin polls. The realclearpolitics average of all polls has Allard by five. Zogby has been favorable to Strickland all during this season. I must confess, however, that ever since Zogby called the 2000 Presidential just right and made me eat crow, I've quit knocking his data.

No it isn't. This is a Ciruli Associates poll.

I agree that he has a bias but based on past performance I'd say he gets it closer than most. Two years ago the running gag on here was about Zogby's 'special sauce". After the dust settled he seemed to have called it closer than anyone else. Maybe he just has a better view of where the vote fraud will be occurring.
