Bloomberg Poll (Complete) [View all]

[cthulu2016]

Any news story about a poll that does not include a link to the actual poll results is not a news story.

And any news story about a court decision that does not include a link to the actual decision is not a news story.

IMO.

So for what it's worth, the Bloomberg poll is interesting reading:

Have spent some time with the full results, I think the poll is probably flawed. We have two possibilities.

1) Democratic Party affiliation and Obama support among independents have both jumped a lot, in a sudden fashion. That is possible, but would need to be confirmed by several subsequent polls. If that has happened in the real electorate that is excellent news, albeit surprising. Or,

2) Using Bloomberg's likely voter screen and a more representative sample, Obama is up 48%-50%, over Romney's 43%-45%.

Either way that is an excellent result for Obama.

But I will never understand the motive in embracing a favorable outlier with atypical internals while rejecting as absurd an unfavorable outlier with atypical internals. Goose. Gander.
