I hope this is an outlier. No wonder they thought WI was worth campaigning in

Even though they are a Democratic pollster, their polls don't always swing way in favor of Obama.

Obama is above 50. Remember, Kerry and Gore barely won them. Both of them won it by less than 0.5%.

We Ask America of all pollsters has it as 6.5% Obama, also a robo poller and right leaning at times. I think we will win this state. I bet 4.5% is about right.
