Because the whole point of the poll is to show Burns cannot win.

If he cannot win and you're a Republican, then what's your option?

Come on Tweed, I know that you're smarter than that.

Keenan shows himself losing by the same margin as the known Burns.  Against Keenan, Morrison has a much lower percentage.  As Sam said, the point is that Keenan - with higher name recognition - could beat Morrison, while Burns is stuck under.

It's advantageous for this Republican partisan poll to show the Democrats as stronger than they are, which is certainly a weird concept, but it pretty much invalidates the poll.
