This poll was commissioned by FRC, one of the few conservative groups that backed Akin to the hilt. In it, it shows ...
“McCaskill holds a 58% to 34% lead over Akin among very liberal voters, ..”
Why would 34% of liberals go for Akin? That wont hold. And - Akin has 22% favorable with Democrats? This poll’s favorables are way off from other polls. It doesnt jibe with 2 other polls from professionals (Ras, mason-dixon) that have Akin down 10. IN fact, if you take out that odd-ball Democrat support number, you’d get back to Akin down 10. So I’d trust that before I’d trust a poll from a group out to justify their position.
The FRC poll is a "fundraiser poll" -- designed to give Akin a claim to possibly winning, thereby boosting his fundraising.
Pretty transparent actually...
