"THAT NYT POLL : A seasoned Republican analyst emailed me this to explain the somewhat dismal polling for the president in Sunday's NYT poll:

In the most recent Gallup poll, the party ID was 37 percent GOP and 37 percent Democratic. In the AP/Ipsos poll, the party ID was 42 percent GOP and 45 percent Democratic. And in the CBS/NYT poll on Sunday, the party ID was 34 percent GOP and 47 percent Democratic. Is it any wonder the numbers were what they were? This is more evidence, in my judgment, why you shouldn't trust the NYT polls. (In their last poll, the NYT had a ten-point advantage for Democrats in the party ID.)"

A good lession in how polls can be rigged.
