susa and braun (cn2 whack-a-poll) apparently covered the same period (?) so they show the trend as down even though the cn2 poll even showed Rand up from its prior poll, and the SUSA poll was WAY up. Note all those 'stray' data points above the line at the end while the line they draw follows down the one ch2 poll.
I think if cn2 did this to 'cover' and 'mute' the impact of the susa poll, it shows why they switched back to at least using voter registration lists (remember last time they just called people at random and ASKED if they were registered). They knew if they were even further off of SUSA people would be tearing THEIR poll apart more.
Whatever. Cn2's polls can't be taken seriously when you see how they bounce around in methodology -- and result-- even in a period when ALL major polls reflected stability.
