Suffolk Poll of MA--Obama beating ex-Gov Romney 63-31

[WI_DEM]

(poor Mittens so loathed by the state he was governor. Obama is doing better than he did in 2008 in MA according to this poll):

Q23. There are four candidates listed for President on the Massachusetts
Ballot: Gary Johnson-Libertarian Party, Barack Obama-Democratic Party, Mitt
Romney-Republican Party, and Jill Stein-Green Party. If the General Election
for President were held today for whom would you vote or towards whom would
you lean at this time - Johnson, Obama, Romney, or Stein?
N= 600 100%
Johnson - Libertarian .......................... 1 ( 1/131) 7 1%
Obama - Democrat ............................... 2 378 63%
Romney - Republican ............................ 3 187 31%
Stein - Green .................................. 4 4 1%
(DO NOT READ) Undecided ........................ 5 20 3%
(DO NOT READ) REFUSED .......................... 6 4 1%

1. Yeah MA!

2. So Suffolk pulled out of FL and NC because they weren't competitive....

(they said Obama had no chance of winning them)

yet they're polling Massachusetts, which everyone knows Romney has no chance of winning???

Someone please explain.

3. Polling mainly because of the senate race, but since interviewing people for that

also asking about presidential race.

4. Well, there was a waste of money...

Seriously, why even bother to do polling?

7. As much as I like these numbers, they seem a little on the high end

Just as the MA poll recently putting Obama with only a lead of (+14) seemed a little on the low end.

The correct number is probably in between.
