So, doing a final news check before trying to research brain death and hypothermia one more time, I did my daily check of poltico's polling page.
They haven't had a new Connecticut poll for over three weeks. The last ones had had Ø up by about 7, even in registered voter polls. (He won this state in '08 by 22).
Low and behold they have a new poll from the Hartford Current and UConn which puts Ø up by 23. It claims to be likely voters, but we can't find any links to the poll to see the methodology or the breakdown. Surprise. One of the commenters at the HC site actually brought this up. I was quite heartened by the number of comments that were critical of the poll and Ø.
So I'll keep hunting for the internals, and I bet they're skewed enough to make the poll a meaningless partisan propaganda tool, useful in ginning up some (D) enthusiasm and as an attempt at making (R)s so despondent they stay home.

And setting the stage for a Diebold miscount.
I wouldn't put it past them. As Hugh Hewitt wrote, "They Can't Cheat If It Isn't Close".
