And, isn't Quinnipiac notoriously pro-gop?

And, of course, politico went with more Hispanic voters going for the fucking trump toady(you know he will be if he doesn't lose).

Best of Luck to Bill Nelson!

13. Quinnipiac is relatively fair. If anything the Republicans like to point and bitch about them.

Then again, I secretly already know that it's a hack job, and will probably be spread around on social media more than the original story would ever hope to see the day.
