The models have been bad all season long - Party ID advantage should not be more than 5 points for the Dem, and that being extra generous.

They have been pushing 'O' so hard it is really getting under my skin.

These polls are mostly conducted by random phone calls and in some cases people who only have cell phones. Not everyone will reply to them.

In all my years I have never been polled, ever.  How many more like me?
