First, NBC polls tend to be more reliable when they team with the Wall Street Journal. Marist is mid-level reliable.
Second, you cannot just look to one poll or even the most recent. In Ohio, at the end of April if you average Obama’s net lead in polls, he led by 4 points. If you take just the NBC/Marist poll and its 6-point lead for Obama, you would automatically think that Obama has opened a bigger lead in Ohio. But, if you look at the other polls between April and today in Ohio, Obama leads by an average 4.75 points. When you adjust these figures for accuracy of polling agencies by weighting them, you shave about 2 points off that Obama lead leaving him with a 2.6 lead in Ohio- within the margin of error of ANY poll thus leaving Ohio a clear-cut battleground state.
Third, you cannot say that with regards to Pennsylvania where, after adjusting for polling accuracy, Obama’s lead still falls outside the margin of error.
Fourth, obviously the more respondents that reflect the state population as a whole, the greater the accuracy of the poll. However, polls with smaller samples can be accurate if done correctly. Instead of quibbling over the number of respondents and their breakdown, the poll quality modifier takes care of this and gives you a better broad-based view.

I was dealing with a child when replying to you.
Like I said, insert ‘idiot’ where you put common.
How could I be any more clear.
