If this is their last poll before the election they can not do that if it is really not close. If they have more polls to go then no problem. So the only way they show a neck and neck race in their last poll is if it is what they really think is true.

That last poll they make has to be as close as they really think is right because they want to be called on next election as a gold standard in predicting the last election. They do not want to be Zogby, they have a business to run....

I am guessing this is the last NPR/DC poll. They are not a regular pollsters. So I believe this is it.

And to show a Romney win, says it all. Carville is behind this one (Democracy Corps), so he can say he predicted a Romney win, even if Romney wins by 2-4 more points. He had Obama’s number right, and the undecideds broke late, blah blah blah.

This is a meaningful poll.
