Misleading WaPo poll falsely asserts Obama is up by 8 in Virginia

After a spate of recent polls showing the presidential race in something like a dead heat, liberals were ecstatic to see a poll showing Obama way ahead in Virginia, an important battleground state:

There was a time, not too long ago, when pollsters released their results and no one could question them. But in the age of Twitter, polls’ methodological flaws can be exposed in real time:

That’s right: the WaPo sample was 32D/24R/35I, or D+8.

By comparison, the 2008 Virginia exit poll sample, taken when Obama-mania was at its peak, was 39D/33R/27I, or D+6.

In other words, the Washington Post poll presumes a political environment in Virginia that is more hospitable to Democrats today than in 2008.

Who still thinks this poll should be taken seriously?
