Always nice when we poll 101% of the country.

Should be 47/53. Amazing how the generic ballot changes from adults to just registered voters (not even likely).

John, if knew anything about polling you'd know that when polling firms publish their data, they are very careful to warn and remind their readers that totals may not add perfectly to 100% due to rounding. Pretty common knowledge.

BH,
No, Emily simply transcribed the numbers from the release incorrectly.

Emily: I think there was an error on the chart of different polls. You Gov had the GOP ahead by 1. I think you want to have the Democrats ahead by 7 among registered voters. Maybe the GOP is ahead on likely voters, but please make not of that.
