Latest data show Romney improving among women, with Obama's edge among that large voting bloc falling from 10-percentage points in our Sunday poll to just 4-percentage points on Monday

True, but the exact opposite phenomena happens with men in today's data.

Likewise, Obama's huge 81 point advantage among Blacks and Hispanics shrank back to 72 points on Monday.

They nicely forget the comment later in their tables about the values of stats on small samples.

The poll is probably fine, but the comments are really loaded.
