Seriously? RCP? Real Clear Politics, or as I like to call it, Rightwing Christian Propaganda is an organization dedicated to combating "anti-conservative, anti-Christian media bias". They are hardly an objective source.

There is something wrong with the Bloomberg poll at +13.

Oh, of course there is!

I don't doubt that Obama has an advantage, but all the other polls have it significantly less than +13; hence, either Bloomberg's is in error or all the other polls are. My wager is on the forrmer.

As I understand it, the difference problem resides in the samples. The other polls have,either largely or entirely,of registered voters but this new Bloomberg poll is of likely voters. That's an important distinction since it pretty much winnows out the uninterested and uninformed and also reflects more accurately what the vote will be.
