Romney Complains About ‘Flawed’ Poll

In which Obama beats him.

A poll released Monday morning showed that Mitt Romney’s support was sinking and that nationally President Obama was beating him significantly. Romney’s campaign has, unsurprisingly, taken issue with these statistics. The GOP frontrunner’s pollster says that the numbers, from a Washington Post/ABC poll, should be ignored because “the poll introduced specific negative information about Governor Romney, immediately prior to asking the ballot match-up against President Obama.” The Washington Post’s polling director, however, argues that the results are legitimate. “The result is also in line with other publicly released polls. That said, we published our full questionnaires—with exact question wording—for just such scrutiny.”
