Yay!

YouGov is one of the poorest of the online panel survey firms.

They have very little credibility (and wild results).

So Cain does best in internet polls like Yougov and Zogby, and also does well in robo-polls like PPP, but doesn't do quite as well in polls with a real person doing the interview.  Is this some sort of reverse Bradley effect?  Voters don't want to admit to interviewers that they're supporting the black man?  Or is it that they don't want the robot interviewer to think they're racist, but they don't care if humans know that?

or it could just be because Internet polls suck
