(39,961 posts)A week or so ago, we learned that Gravis Marketing, a pollster used by Nate Silver at 538, donated to the Romney campaign. Would it surprise you to learn that they publish his polling number about 5% higher than everyone else?
These guys are frauds that WANT you to keep watching the polls so they can benefit. They don't care about accuracy.
