Here are some of the tweets from this esteemed and well-regarded pollster's twitter:

Pathetic that the Bernie Sanders folks are so desperate for good news for this failing campaign that they're turning to polls that are probably just completely made up at this point.

Sanders hacks confirmed.

Blacks will give Clinton a leg up, especially in AR, which they are tied with Bill Clinton since 1990's.

Lol ok

I agree that this pollster is probably not a good one. At the same time I just laugh at some of the things these people will say to any poll that shows Clinton even slightly competitive.

Better than the Sandernistas on here

People always assume new polls are bad...maybe give it a chance before shooting it down, consider the changing face of southern Democrats.

They're rabidly anti-Clinton, you should read their tweets...

Let's assume this poll is accurate, either Tennessee Democrats are quite liberal or they really hate the Clintons....

There are two possibilities
1. this is a legit new polling company
2. some guy named "Fred" (no last name given) created a website and just started pulling numbers out of his ass and calling them polls.

I lean to option 2 since there is no evidence so far for option 1.

But 'Muh Sanders Revolution"

Honestly, some of the Clinton-haters are worse then the Democrat hacks. Be realistic. Hillary won't be losing AR or TN. I think this polling company is clearly suspect. I wish it'd be legit because it'd be funny to see Hillary sweat in Arkansas, but it most likely (more like >99%) isn't.

It's been over 20 years since the Clinton's were directly involved in Arkansas politics, so it won't be a massive blowout, but yes it would require a miracle for Sanders to actually beat her.

Read this:
http://overtimepolitics.com/overnight-emails-and-a-few-questions-answered/

Firstly one would expect a polling company to reveal facts about itself like the name of people involved and it's location. This guy comes out and admits it is a one man operation and it is actually a "side project".  He also promises to stop attacking candidates on Twitter and ask more than one question in polls, so I guess those weren't already kind of givens for a polling company. And yet, even still he finds time to attack Clinton and the DNC for being 'unfair' to Sanders.

I'm sorry, this is not a real pollster and I don't see why these 'numbers' should even be posted here anymore. There has to be some barest sense of legitimacy, this is just some Bernie fan trying to pull an old school Rasmussen, but at least Rasmussen actually did some polling (biased and flawed but there were polls being done).  There is no evidence this is anything more than just some guy in his spare time making up numbers.

It feels like this election cycle, anyone with a device can just make up polls and claim them as factual.

Obama did terribly among Arkansas Democrats because he was guilty of running for President while black.

Your party has racists in it? Why do you think skin color matters more to them than policies?

No no the Republicans have racists in it...It was part of the southern strategy.

Are you like 17?

His profile says 21, but his comments read as if he's 7. Your typical 2016 board hack, I guess.

Agreed.

Well, their Vermont poll is coming out on Tuesday, so at this rate I expect Sanders to earn at least 60%.

Maybe 80% at this rate LOL.

I don't see why he's so scared, to be honest. It's not like anybody's going to send him anthrax.

Anything's possible.

^He claims to have a small number of people helping him make calls.

That's oddly specific, considering there's probably only about a thousand or so Muslims in Mexico.

Probably the same people that Trump's talking about when he says he has a lot of Muslim and Mexican friends.

Overtime Politics is using Muslim Mexican labor?

Overtime saying Sanders is ahead? Pop the popcorn to watch Hillary's glorious victory tomorrow.
