    I know you don't actually read these before you post them, but that article contains no polling evidence that the latest email tempest has hurt her lead in any way. Misleading headline.

    The latest iteration of the Times/USC poll is not tied. CVOTER and Rasmussen both showed larger leads in the last week and both use LV and not RV.

    Why are you so bad at this?

    Have always been curious why we "argue" polls.

    It's like "arguing" when one sports book has State U. favored by 2 fewer points than another sports book.

    What do you mean? Their methodology and historical accuracy merits our analysis.

    I would believe that if people didn't only "disagree" with polls that showed something that they didn't want to see.

    Nobody ever has a problem with a poll showing their candidate is kicking ass.

    Within the last week, I recall DD posting a Clinton-friendly poll and noting that he doubted it was accurate.

    You're being ridiculous. Smart people on here and in the media even-handedly evaluate polls all the time. And even if they didn't, that doesn't mean it can't be done. YF is a righty and Rick is a lefty. So stipulated. That says absolutely nothing about whether each is right or wrong here. Evaluate their positions on the merits alone.

    What's the Obama administration's record in federal court?

    They've been slapped down on a number of occasions, including some unanimous decisions.
