That's actually a 4 point Obama bounce from their last poll.

Impossible.  The results were just released 10 minutes ago.  Yesterday, we had a rehash of Susquehanna's last poll, an internal for the Pennsylvania Republican Party and rumors of a new poll.

Their last poll was an internal for the Pennsylvania Republican Party.  There really can't be a direct comparison.

Both were polls by Susquehanna Polling & Research Institute.  That's my direct comparison.

Compare internals to public polls at your own peril - even if they are from the same pollster.  There's an agenda behind internals that isn't there for public polls.

Bear in mind that Susquehanna has shown the best results for ROmney in PA, making even the Rasmussen polls look like they were oversampling Dems.

Examples:
Tribune-Review/Susquehanna   9/18 - 9/20   Obama +2
Rasmussen Reports   9/19 - 9/19   Obama +12

Susquehanna   10/4 - 10/6   Obama +2
Rasmussen Reports   10/9 - 10/9   Obama +5

Tribune-Review/Susquehanna   2/2 - 2/6   Romney +2
Rasmussen Reports   2/8 - 2/23   Obama +1

Well, the last Susquehanna that wasn't an internal had Obama up 47-45 in early October.  Their non-internals are just as big of outliers and favorable to Republicans as their Tribune polls.  But even if you don't believe that, 47-45 to 47-47 is almost no movement.

Even if this poll tilts Republican, it can't be a comforting sign for the President.  Pennsylvania, I believe, closes at 8:00 pm EST.  If its not called by 9:00 pm, it could turn into a long night for Obama.

And, you can't dismiss this poll just because its a positive poll for Romney.

This is far from a good firm.  Their swing is running the opposite from, well, nearly everyone.

And you can't elevate this poll just because it is a positive poll for Romney. It's crap because it doesn't line up with any other Pennsylvania polls as of late. Get real.

I blanch every time I hear the words "Susquehanna Polling," unless it involves moving a boat.

Sesque was close in 08, predicting Obama + 8 as their final poll.

Don't let something like history -- that Susquehanna knows Pennsylvania -- get in the way of a good narrative, Comrade. Baghdad Barry says that Obama is leading in Pennsylvania. It must be so. A pox on Susquehanna and the conservative Pittsburgh Tribune/Review for saying otherwise. Valerie Jarrett will get her revenge.

Predicting Obama +8 when the final is Obama +11 is not close enough, especially when used to argue a state Obama is probably only going to win by 5 is tied.

If a pollster does not get the exact margin you discredit them? Marist was off by 3 as well in PA (other direction). Do you discredit all their polls for this reason as well?
