Lib media rigs poll to pump up Dems
Red States: Some on the left have been pushing a recent NY Times poll, suggesting that Democrats might have a chance in the midterms, with allegedly a one-percent preference edge for the Democrats over Republicans, 41 percent to 40 percent with registered voters.

But even that wasn’t quite as accurate as it could be, since the likely voter count showed a preference of one point for the Republicans, according to my colleague Streiff.
