Before I was giving Gravis polls about a 0.1% weight in my mind. Now it's down to 0%. Congrats.

This makes me feel better about Burke Gravis had her tied with Walker in the Governor poll.

There's no real point in trying to "skew" Gravis numbers back to reality. Just throw them in the trash can and move on.

Why is Gravis just doing 1 or 2 matchups per state?

It's so pointless given the huge number of potential GOP nominees.

The poll may look crazy, but a Ryan-Clinton race in Wisconsin could be a tossup.

I don't think I would have quite gotten the point without the bar graph :P

In any case, when a single poll has a result that seems to good to be true it probably is. We'll have to keep an eye out for reproducibility of this result by other firms of course.

Technically, if it it is "too good to be true" it is almost certainly neither good nor true.

Fun map.

If Ryan flips Wisconsin, neighboring Iowa, and the rust belt states of Pennsylvania and Ohio, it's an electoral tie.

Ryan's worse performance for his House seat was in 2012, the same time he was on the presidential ticket, so I don't think he's got much ability to win statewide.

Just like choosing him as VP was going to put Wisconsin in play.

The top of the ticket matters a lot more when it comes to the effect in an individual state.

It is worth noting that Romney did nearly seven points better in Wisconsin than McCain did.

It isn't surprising that when a politician's profile rises, partisans on the other side will have more reasons to vote against him.

Yeah, Romney did 7 points better in Michigan as well.

The trend is what should be observed, rather than merely the swing.

Michigan trend, 2008-2012: R+3.57%
Wisconsin trend, 2008-2012: R+3.56%

False.

Voting history counts as much as trend; if not, even more so. Trend is just a part of what "should be observed."
