I searched for the past accuracy of MassInc (Pollster who released NH poll today)

And I found out that they have no track record whatsoever.
It looks like they didn't poll the 2012 or 2008 New Hampshire presidential elections at all.
It seems as if the default pundit opinion is to consider this pollster a very good one, without a track record to go by.

Help me find this pollster if I missed it in the list:
Romney vs. Obama, NH https://www1.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/nh/new_hampshire_romney_vs_obama-2030.html#polls
McCain vs. Obama, NH http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/nh/new_hampshire_mccain_vs_obama-195.html#polls

It's easier than I thought for Hillary to win even losing OH, NC and FL

I made an electoral map in which Hillary keeps Colorado, Nevada, Virginia and Wisconsin, and loses the states that are most often mentioned as crucial in the media (NC, FL and OH).

Hillary ends up winning 275-262.

Survey USA and TargetSmart are junk

Hillary is not losing by 7% on North Carolina and not winning by 8% in Florida.
1) SurveyUSA is a robocall
2) TargetSmart is a huge outlier. Florida is close

They were very accurate in 2012 predicting an 8% victory for Obama. He won by 7%.
