From the pollster ...

Downs said about one-third of calls came before Cruz and Kasich announced their anti-Trump pact, and nearly all of them occurred before Cruz chose Carly Fiorina as his running mate -- all of which skews the Cruz-friendly conclusion even further.

Downs, a political science professor at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, said he had some skepticism about what the small sample size showed.

"We can all be wrong one time out of 20," he said about the polling process.

"This is much more likely to be that one time than not."

Oh fer cryin' out loud... Mike Downs himself doesn't even believe the Mike Downs poll! ROTFL!

Yet Rush quotes the poll as if it was as serious as a Gallup, etc. poll. Wow.
