The Obama Campaign Really Hates This Poll

Aides attack CBS/NYT poll on Twitter and TV. Obama campaign officials are attacking the latest poll from CBS News and The New York Times which shows Romney and Obama in a statistical tie. They are arguing publicly that the poll's methodology is flawed, and they aren't being shy about it either.

Aside from being outlier, CBS/NYT poll used weird methodology -- same voters as last month, reached fewer of them, more IDed as GOP.

Latest CNN poll showed @BarackObama up 16 among women. State polls show big advantage among women. Be wary of any poll that doesn't.

.@ZekeJMiller any poll that has Romney up with women when other polls have him down double digits has to be looked at skeptically
