Well, first outlier poll for 2012 - Romney leads Obama in Washington

Sure he does...A state that hasn't voted repub since 1984 is going to vote for etch-a-sketch...On top of that, Romney leads among 18-34 year olds....Think someone at SurveyUSA either started drinking too early or inhaled too much of the same white stuff Tony Montana inhaled in "Scarface"....

poll that has Romney leading in WA, but there are no links. And the one on the site you posted has Obama 50%, Romney 36% from Survey USA May 09. What does yours say?

WA. is colored in light red....However, the author of that site had a paragraph about the polling by SurveyUsa which he removed....I guess he thought it was polling done wrong, or an outlier...
