"In Ohio, the RON measure are unfortunately trailing badly. I guess that Post Dispatch snail mail poll was as shitty as I thought it was."

UA Progressive Action:
While claiming a Margin of error of ±2.5%, the November 6th, Dispatch Poll on Issues 2-5 was so bad, so far off the eventual outcome, as to be considered ludicrous. How can anyone ever believe or take seriously any Dispatch Political Poll in the future?
Consider the Poll versus the Results:
Issue 2 - Absentee Balloting
Dispatch Poll Actual
Yes: 59 (68) 36.53%
No: 33 (28) 63.57%
Undecided: 9 (7)
Issue 3 - Contribution Limits
Dispatch Poll Actual
Yes: 61 (70) 33.04%
No: 25 (15) 66.96%
Undecided: 14 (15)
Issue 4 - Redistricting
Dispatch Poll Actual
Yes: 31 (28) 30.22%
No: 45 (38) 69.78%
Undecided: 25 (36)
Issue 5 - Role of Secretary of State
Dispatch Poll Actual
Yes: 41 (42) 29.83%
No: 43 (37) 70.17%
Undecided: 16 (20)
