Finally, some quality polling to tell us exactly what's happening here. I'd like to thank the fine men and women at ARG for making this possible.

...

How ARG conducts their polling:

First, numbers are picked randomly out of a hat


Then, through a contract with the local school district, third grade students are told to take the numbers and use them as variables in the "The Supersecret Highly Intelligent Turnout formula", hereafter known as The S.H.I.T. formula

It doesn't matter if they do the math correctly - that's what the margin of error is for

ARG then randomly calls a number determined by The S.H.I.T. formula. Racial turnout is based upon what color pen the third-graders used

ARG then subtracts 7 from one of the candidates totals, 'cause 7 is their lucky number

NOTE: ARG is currently considering switching to a new polling methodology involving bloodhounds, a bundle of bananas, and a bingo parlor off I-67

I look back fondly on the days when ARG was the worst polling firm we had to deal with, before the proliferation of garbage like Gravis, WAA, Vox Populi, etc.

That said, ARG's record in NH is particularly awful, if I remember correctly.

Fake polling must be a profitable business. Perhaps I should start a firm of my own.

It tells you something when the most believable recent poll in NH is from ARG.

Dave, you entered this the wrong way:

The margin is 50-45 (among likely voters), 47-45 is among registered voters.

At this point, we should put LV polls into the database, no ?

Fool's gold for Republicans as long as Shaheen continues to seek re-election, but this poll probably is closer to the truth than the ones that were showing her up by 8-10 a couple of months ago.

Higher D advantage among LV rather than RV?
