Re The Susquehanna (R) Poll That Shows O And R Tied In PA

Has anybody noted the irony that their previous poll taken three weeks ago, at the peak of Romney's popularity had him leading by four?

Two observations.

I'm almost about to say I would do if Romney won PA what Don Imus said he would do if Howard Stern passed him in the ratings but it's too early in the morning.

Stop letting the right wing lead you by the nose. You're better than that.

Pennsylvania-based Susquehanna Polling and Research (SP&R) is a leading survey research and political polling firm for both candidates for public office (GOP only), as well as numerous corporate clients including trade associations, public relations firms and the media.

What are the chances of one company having pollsters named Dull and Sharp?

A new poll shows Republican Mitt Romney leading in Pennsylvania, a state that Republicans had all but written off just weeks ago but which is now listed as a toss up by the Real Clear Politics website.

Susquehanna Polling and Research provided The Washington Examiner with a poll it conducted for state party officials that shows Romney with a 49 percent to 45 percent lead over President Obama.

Obama has picked up 4 points in this poll in a week. This is almost just like Ras.

Funny, how come we don't see any dramatic shifts in PPP's polling in the last week or so?

Propagandizing for Republican candidates by providing favorable polls that influence public opinion and providing accurate results so people will take their polls seriously thus given them the power to affect public opinion. IMHO, they tried to thread the needle with the tied race "finding" and failed.
