More Proof of Polling Bias

Last week, I wrote about the polling bias being displayed by Quinnipiac in its generic congressional ballot polls.  That pollster gave the Democrats a 17 point lead when registered voters were asked whether they would vote for a Republican or Democrat candidate for
Congress.  The other polls showed a much lower margin, indeed a margin that could not be statistically blended with the Quinnipiac poll.  In fact, for the last few months, Quinnipiac has consistently put out ridiculous polls on the subject which were totally out of whack with the results from other pollsters.

Since that poll by Quinnipiac last week, two other pollsters have come out with polls on the same question.  These two polls put the margin for the D's over the R's at 5.5%.  It's just more proof that Quinnipiac is cooking the books on its polls.  It's settled statistics that these polls and the Quinnipiac monstrosity cannot both be correct.

Anyone want to bet that the next poll on the issue from Quinnipiac will show an even bigger margin for the Dems?  I think it will.  Quinnipiac is trying to make it seem as if the 2018 is already over and the D's have won.  Of course, that ploy didn't work too well in 2016.
