WTF!?!? Morning Joe misquoting the UNH/WMUR Poll, saying 47-47 LV when it's 50-45 LV

Simply unbelievable.

Poll here: http://www.unh.edu/survey-center/news/pdf/e2012_election110412.pdf

On edit: Note: the poll has 4% of LV still being undecided. When they count who Undecideds are leaning to, it is 51-48 (which is the number RCP is using).

Deep down he's crying like a little baby cause he knows the Republicans are going to lose.

n. A person who enthusiastically toes the party line. A combination of "synch" and "sycophant."

This is Joe's way of doing it.

Romulans are dense but dutiful.

And why she's ignoring all the polls favoring the President and only highlighting those that are more skewed to Romney.

She is there for just one purpose - To Make The Show Look Political Balanced! There have been so many times that Joe along with his Republican panel misinformed on a lot of data and Mika just kept on nodding her head in agreement.

He's the Jack Welch end of MSNBC. Lying to the American voter, about polls reflecting how the American voter thinks.

It's just pick your poison on morning political coverage. I get the repugs' morning lies from Rose and the Mellons on CBS.

Joe Scar is an poll cherry picker, both good and bad for Romney. Sometimes he freaks over one poll in a good way for Mittens and one poll that is bad for Mittens (like an Ohio plus 5 poll from Quinnipiac). He really needs to understand poll averages. Or he ignores it on purpose.
