     Any word on the reliability of this firm? I have a hard time believing some of these numbers, though admittedly I don't know where exactly I'd expect these races to stand.

They got the PA-12 special election right:

But produced crappy Obama approvals in Illinois (47% Approve, 50% Disapprove) in March.

...

They also polled the PA and NV Senate in early August:

48% - Toomey (R)
35% - Sestak (D)

46% - Reid (D)
41% - Angle (R)

Which is consistant with other polls ...

Maybe they are a good pollster, who just got the Obama approvals wrong ...
