But even if you take off 5, 10, even 15 points from rounds's lead for a house effect/bias/whatever, that's still a more significant rounds lead then we've seen in a while, and while I hate YouGov and have mixed views on Marist, it still holds that when three polls show you a more comfortable lead for a candidate, more often than not it's real. Granted, there are times when it isn't, but it is more often than not.
Still,
none of this means that I am declaring SD Safe R.I hope that PPP does an independent SD poll as part of its final round, and we'll see what Monmouth shows. But it seems that Rounds is on better footing than three weeks ago, at least slightly.
