Has Survey USA ever been this wrong before?
I always thought they were spot on.

2. You can't be right all the time. Remember Zogby's infamous CA prediction?

8. the thing about CA is that there was a lot of early voting (up to 50%)
and exit polls did show that Obama won the voting on the actual day of voting.

5. How many times did I say on this board that SUSA was going to be wrong?
Their crosstabs were simply flawed.

6. Zogby was spot on in PA and now in NC and closest re: IN
and he was right in Texas (SUSA wrong then too) and MO (SUSA wrong big time).

7. They tried to manipulate the outcome, I did a post yesterday to mark time
so the sands of time wouldn't get too shifty. I can't find it while DU is in defcon mode. But I guarantee there are now going to be serious questions about connections and impact.

10. There were just too many students and high-turnout for anyone to be perfect.

11. So SUSA has been officially discredited as a pollster then?
I say good riddance. They obviously have a pro-Clinton bias.
