But their polls seem to poll Obama at a less overall number than the average on the whole.

Here's this from June:

Ohio's big shift is due to two polls—one from Rasmussen, and the other from Purple Strategies (a consulting group run by right-wingers and Lieberdems)—showing Romney slightly ahead. On the other hand, a recent NBC/Marist poll had Obama up 48-42. Wisconsin has dropped that far because of a single Ras poll.
