Talk Radio Failed To Bully Marquette Poll: Dems Ahead, Again

Remember a couple of weeks ago when right-wing talk radio in Milwaukee had a collective breakdown because the same Marquette polling operation they loved when it showed Scott Walker ahead in the recall election he won was indicating Democratic Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin leading Republican Tommy Thompson?

This is how AM 620 WTMJ's Jeff Wagner put it when he went after the poll: 

When A Good Poll Goes Horribly Bad


...There's no nice way to say this.  I believe the poll is embarrassingly inaccurate and it makes me wonder what's going on at Marquette...

The real question to me is why Marquette put out these obviously bogus numbers.
Well, the latest Marquette poll is out and the right-wing beat-down appears to have been wasted hot air:

Baldwin is still in the lead and Obama is up by 11%.

The right nationally is blasting polls and pollsters as biased, creating a talking point and rallying cry for the base, but not much more than that.

Like I said: wasted hot air.
