Remember, on average 1 in 20 polls will be garbage.. and 1 in 100 will be complete lunacy, and that's if the firm conducting the polling is good. 95% confidence intervals and all that.

These internals are simply, clearly, dramatically wrong, so the macro results are pretty easy to throw away as a swing and a miss.

Babe Ruth struck out plenty, and SurveyUSA can lay an egg and still be a good firm.
