The most recent poll with "under 600" was a 578 piece from Mellman Group that predicted ties in each.
Now, it's fair to say that both cases slightly underrated the Reverend but when we're talking about 66% obviously 1% or 2% doesn't really matter, and even when we're talking 50% when the error goes the other way (those shy Democrats at it again) it doesn't seriously change the assessment, right?
