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

Yeah you can. See recent thread on Romney lead in MN.

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


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

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?
