Is this the same firm that showed Eric Cantor well ahead of Dave Brat?
I mean, you can look at it this way. Cantor led Brat 52-41 (sic), not 80-7, though.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2014/06/06/cantor-internal-poll-claims-34-point-lead-over-primary-opponent-brat/"The poll, shared with Post Politics, shows Cantor with a 62 percent to 28 percent lead over Brat, an economics professor running to Cantor's right. Eleven percent say they are undecided.
The internal survey of 400 likely Republican primary voters was conducted May 27 and 28 by John McLaughlin of McLaughlin & Associates. It carries a margin of error of +/-4.9 percentage points.
The survey comes the same day a Daily Caller poll conducted by Vox Populi Polling (R) on Monday showed Cantor leading 52-41 percent, with 9 percent undecided."
I was referring to the 62-28 poll. I thought it was wider than that and that Cantor was supposed to have a roughly 50% lead, but still...
It isn't the same firm, but I think this poll should still be taken with a grain of salt, if for no other reason than even a fringe sole challenger running against popular incumbent U.S Representatives tend to get around 20% of the vote. I suppose those could be the undecided as Ryan is at 80%.
