So wingnuts on Twitter are crowing about an "NBC poll" showing Ryan win

By "56 percent"

They say Greta Van Scientologist reported it on FOX, but no link anywhere.

Did she just report early results from a CNBC web poll (which, incidentally, now has Biden up) as this? Or just invent one out of thin air?

If so, I'm sure we'll get a retraction from FOX a week from never.

that they've since had to admit on their site does not exist

Joe really clobbered them tonight, so all they can do is try to bend reality and twee polls that never happened, but it isn't working.
