8. It's a bullshit poll.
45% of their sample were self-identified evangelicals. It's clearly designed to reinforce the "tightening" narrative. The good news is that no "confirming" polls have appeared yet; in fact most that take the Powell endorsement into account show a widening spread, if anything. I think this AP poll will quickly be tossed as an obviously biased outlier. This does call AP's credibility even more into question--but we knew that when they made Fournier their senior election guy and got rid of their rules about editorializing in their news-writing.
