Ipsos, as a national poll, is PRECISELY why this is so serious. No one bothers to get inside the internals of these crap state polls, and you know it. That's why you hide and obfuscate about them.
And the last I saw on Santorum, he was six down. Yep, that would do it.
Where have I disputed that? The point is that national polling is not relatable to state polling. It's not like Ipsos hires 50 different companies to poll each state and then merge the results together.

Survey USA, one of your favorite targets, posts detailed crosstabs of all demographic breakdowns for every poll they conduct. www.surveyusa.com
As for these polls, check out post 67. Internals for M-D's Senate polls are posted there at the link.
The main state pollster that doesn't post good internals is Rasmussen, mainly because I don't have premium membership there so I can't access the crosstabs. I bet you can get them if you pay enough.
If you would actually read the threads on which you post this would be a lot easier.
