I believe we had a poll out of only Union County, New Jersey, last year, showing a tie.  The final margin was over 18 points.

Not most useless, but close.

Who cares which candidate is ahead in Mecklenburg County, NC in a poll from a no-name polling company ? Thatīs really one of the most ridiculous polls Iīve seen recently. Itīs better we keep focusing on Public Policy Polling for NC polls ... Wink

55-33 in the "Charlotte region" (just summing the totals here...) that's a f-ing massive swing to the Democrats. Or (more likely) a worthless poll. Or both.

This is the most epic fail poll I've seen.

600 people in Mecklenburg County, 201 people in the rest of North Carolina, and 300 in South Carolina.  WTF?  That poll isn't even worth an infotainment story.  Sounds as if they started to do a more ambitious one and ran out of money.  As least that might make some sense.  A just Mecklenburg County survey would at least gave some use as one could compare to historical countywide results.
