POS usually does internals for the RNC, NRSC and NRCC.

They are quite a partisan pollster.

This is why we call it POS - because it's a p.o.s.

Their ethnic demographics are nearly identical to PPP's ethnic breakdown, with the main difference being that PPP foudn 69% of poll respondents white, while this poll found 72% to be white. Their party IDs are also nearly identical (PPP at D+4, this one at D+5). The difference is, PPP finds Romney performing worse with nearly all of these groups.

At least it's honest about its quality as a pollster.

This poll was conducted for the Nevada Retail Association.

I guess they are quite anti-union ?

so the equivalent of PPP for the republican side. Generally a little bias.

No, they aren't. PPP is a good pollster, usually with very accurate numbers.

POS is a POS.

Once again you prove how much of a joke you are as a poster...

POS is a Republican pollster now? They used to just be crappy. Mind you, that was years ago.

Anyways, "NV-POS (R)" is clearly Joe Republic.

They have always been a Republican company. See here:

And most of their people are out of the RNC:

Look at you, focusing on demographics!

Take it further: PPP is 44-56 45-55 male/female, while POS is 48/52. POS hits the 2004-2008 exit polls perfectly, while PPP probably has too many women.
