In a demonstration of how fucking dumb the ppl that populate election betting markets are, they are currently moving towards Ciattarelli based on this Emerson poll even though what Emerson is basically saying here is "we think this race moved towards Sherrill since late September."
Like a lot of "these candidates are being forced on us by ~the establishment~" sorts of arguments, the discourse around candidate age always conveniently leaves out just how much voters--in primaries and in the general--seem to be perfectly fine voting for an older candidate most of the time.
The GOP aligned junk pollster cycle: slop in, slop out. The funny thing here is that Red Eagle Politics clearly thought they were gonna get a ratfucker poll that showed Ciattarelli up by going to a pro-R pollster, but instead what SoCal Strategies came back with was Sherrill up 52-45 馃槀
