They publish and promote propaganda and should be fully recognized as such.

The numbers from them I was more intrested In were registered voters and approval.If Obama has a 50 percent approl he will get
50 percent of popular vote.And strong early voting numbers are coming from getting registered voters to polls.My feeling Is polls
could be off a bit because registered voters will be coming out.The numbers In Blue states and swing states may be slightly higher for
Obama than polling suggests.Back In 2004 Registered voters were better for Bush than Likely voters.So there Is precendent for registered voters being more accurate.

Seems at some point they would give up on their likely voter model and just report the registered voter number.
