Rothenburg's recent column casts doubt on Reichert being behind in polling - I don't believe that result until it is confirmed elsewhere. Rothenburg also said the Dems were not making much progress picking up seats in NY in general. I assume Drake is listed as a tossup for a reason, but I don't imagine other polling has her down 9, if it has her down at all.
Your point is an excellent one and one that I tend to hold myself. Because of the nature of internal polling public releases, I would typically throw out any poll that showed a result better than an internal result for that candidate. Of course, every once in a while, a candidate does release an internal poll that is accurate for his race. For the most part, this is exceeding rare, however.
Of course, a lot of these problems could have to with the summer polling phenomenon that I've noted countless times before. Or maybe the methodology of this new poll is simply in error; without crosstabs it's kind of hard for me to make guesses on this.
