what! Walker ahead by 6! claptrap! a guy named Nichols says Marquette is full of shit!

Walker won by 7%.

Is this Obama +14 poll an outlier? November 6th will tell. Hopefull, we DU'ers will be wrong again.

“Our September poll makeup is about two points more Democratic and three points less Republican than average, which is within the margin of error,” said Franklin. If the sample were adjusted to match the yearlong average partisan makeup, both margins would tighten, with Baldwin leading 48 to 43 percent and Obama leading 51 to 43 percent.

The poll of both landline and cell phone users was conducted September 13-16. The November matchups, based on a sample of 601 likely voters, have a margin of error of +/- 4.1 percentage points. Other results are based on 705 registered voters, with a margin of error of +/- 3.8 percentage points.
