You hit the nail right on the head. These polling outfits have a huge dilemma — most are so invested in Obama that they cannot reveal the truth, or it would depress their base. But they can’t afford to ruin their credibility either. So they are using these ties as a cop out so that they couldn’t really be wrong cause they had the race “going either way.”
