I recall that when ARG said Clinton was ahead by three in NH...

...it was a poll with a poor reputation that nobody had heard of.

Now, when ARG says Sanders is ahead by three in NH...

...it's a trustworthy poll that shows Sanders is surging.


Weird...

To hell with all these polls.
I'm ready to see the real numbers.
Votes counted, and when they get through counting them you're going to know what we've known for months.
Bernie Sanders is going to be your nominee.

If I'm not mistaken, this is their first poll there. An outlier, way beyond the aggregate of polls.

I think it's safe to assume that Clinton still holds a comfortable double-digit lead.

For anyone who watches polls, it's pretty much standard to ignore ARG polling, since it is quite unreliable.

Last week, polls were in the pocket of big corporations and banks and part of a conspiracy to elect Hillary Clinton.

Today, a poll sponsored by INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY is the best poll ever!
