Maybe the Bill Clinton visit helped close the gap or was there someting else that I missed ?

Or it may just be an outlier.

Glad to see another poll showing this one closing up. It was bound to close up some time, but I didn't expect this much of a closing.

I think he got a little too critical of Obama for the state he is running in.  More importantly, some of his more off-the-cuff remarks suggest instability regardless of the observer's political leanings.

Or just one. My problem with this poll is that I've never even heard of the people who did it. Once.

The dude seems pretty insane so it's not that shocking to see it close up. It seems like a lot of the Maine polling has been pretty questionable though.

     Not to mention that they publish results with decimals, which suggests that they aren't that good.

So, who here wants to put some stock in a poll where 1:4 respondents were "undecided?" Anyone?

Yeah, it's a red flag to me when more than 15% are undecided in a poll. Add that to the fact this is not a well known, reputable pollster and it would lead me to believe this is a junk poll.

We need to see confirmation from a more reputable pollster.
