Donna Brazile used that poll as an opportunity to point out the importance of context and warned against trusting every poll you see:

So that Obama poll was bogus, but when might Donna Brazil consider a poll to be legitimate?

Short version: Donna Brazile encourages skepticism of any poll … unless it’s favorable to Democrats.
