Reply to comment by MiggySmalls6767 in McConnell-aligned super PAC withdraws from New Hampshire Senate race by Live-Breath9799

It's a B/C poll. 600 Likely Voters, by Fabrizio, Lee & Associates so I'd take it with a grain of salt but it's the only really recent poll. It was also sponsored by Buldoc.

polls can be made to say whatever we want - and in recent years they've been used strategically to try and push fence-sitters and the cynical into either not voting or switching.

2016 showed that in spades.

Yea, there's a reason they flag polls as being sponsored by a candidate. You'd want to keep your sponsor happy by giving them good numbers, and by giving them something they can toss to the media and say "Look, we're not losing too badly!"
