“Those final projections from Battleground are not poll numbers. They’re predictions.”

...read closer, and do some homework and you will see their final projected numbers are VERY close to the actual numbers (except for 2008, however they still picked the winner):

Ed Goeas is the Republican pollster, Celinda Lake is the Democrat pollster.

And again, the projection is their prediction, not the final poll number. They basically allocate the remaining undecideds when doing the projection.

Look at question 6. That’s where Obama’s goose is cooked.

Dude, do you know the difference between a poll and a prediction?
