Look for junk polls from here out. Read earlier that this ones internals distort the balance between Dem, Pubbie and Indies.

These folks are usually in the ball park. I dismissed the PPP poll yesterday, but two in a row showing significant loss makes me nervous.

Lemee see, Lefty Poly-Sci professor says, "Let's put on a poll!", and the eager young faces say, "Yes, let's!", and so you have a poll. Then the professor says, "You know who has to win?", and the students say, "Yes!". And the professor, calls the nerd of the class, a kid who know's numbers. His name is, Idoo Skew. The professor says, "You know what you need to do, Mr. Skew? "Yes professor, as my name says, `I Do Skew` ", and those internals will look nothing like they really are, but they will give you the desired result. The professor says, "That's great, but don't be so honest."

I’m not surprised that Sestak is polling well on a public college campus. When your only poll showing you ahead was performed by fuzzy thinking profs at the local college, you know things are really going well.
