Diaego/Hotline tracking poll: EPIC FAIL

To some acclaim, a new tracking poll debuted yesterday. Here, pimped by Marc Ambinder:

"Folks at my company are super excited about our newest product -- a 300-sample-per-night daily tracking poll sponsored by the folks at Diageo. Last night's track has Obama up six, 46 to 40 among registered voters. "

Well, it's 10 pm Eastern, and the second day of the tracking poll has not been released yet.

Good show, Hotline. That's some fine tracking you're doing.

3. IF they don't get today's results out in 1:42, it's EPIC

Sorry, daily tracking polls must be released daily.

8. If they're really "the world’s leading spirits, beer and wine company,"

then I suppose they might be too busy recovering on Saturday and Sunday morning to release any poll results.
