What's the point? poll bounces...

Assuming the veracity of the pollster, which is a stretch in this political environment, sometimes you have to look at the data to determine if it's worthwhile to report a poll result.

I have to give Gravis Marketing credit for being honest, and thus assume that they are a legitimate polling outfit.

But look at this at this Colorado poll:

blacks:

Romney 57%
Obama 40%

I don't know what they should have done with this result.  Maybe sample more African Americans.  Maybe start the poll over.  Maybe put out the poll with an asterick.  But seriously?
