The liberal website DailyKos.com has chosen to terminate its relationship with MD-based pollster Research 2000, according to DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas.
"I have decided to part ways with our current pollster, and will be looking for a new polling partner to finish out this election cycle," Moulitsas wrote in a statement posted on his site.
Research 2000 Pres. Del Ali confirmed the split in an interview with Hotline OnCall.
Moulitsas' decision comes in the wake of last night's AR SEN Dem primary runoff, in which Sen. Blanche Lincoln held off LG Bill Halter, Daily Kos' preferred candidate. The website promoted Halter as a replacement on the Dem ticket months before he announced his candidacy, and the site's readers were encouraged to contribute to his insurgent campaign.
Research 2000 conducted two polls for the site between the primary and the runoff. While Halter posted narrow leads in both polls, Ali noted to Hotline OnCall that those leads were within the polls' margin of error.
"It's not 'Dewey Defeats Truman'," Ali said, "but that's the way it goes."

I wondered what they would do when even Research 2000 numbers were headed south. Now I know.
Nothing "Progressive" about marxism.
I understand the marxists wanting to call themselves something else, the reason why the right participates in the deception is beyond me.
