Quinnipiac is not a quality pollster.

Unfortunately for Obuggery oversampling of Democrats in polls is not political reality.

Rush had it nailed yesterday. The mainstream media is in the process of shifting gears from shilling for Obama to explaining away an Obama loss. You cannot continue to goose polls like this and maintain any shred of credibility.

Check out the internals of their poll. Not only they oversampled Dems by some 6%, they took great effort to pick Obama voters by even greater margin. If you look at the answers in NYT poll, in Florida for example, 13% of respondents voted to Bozo in 2008. The real margin of victory for Bozo in Fl was just 2.5%. The Obama voters are oversampled by over 10%! So even assuming all who voted for O will do the same, Romney is actually leading by some 5 or 6%. Situation is similar with OH voters, and to lesser extent PA (the race is probably dead heat there).

So this was a careful effort on the part of the "pollsters" to pick Republican leaning voters who voted for O in 2008 (or at least those claim to be leaning GOP). The whole thing doesn't not just stink: this is clearly a massive fraud, well financed and planned. Hopefully it cost NYT a lot of money.
