For those new to Polling Terminology...

[berni_mccoy]

Here is a helpful guide.

When a race is tied, the Republican has an edge and likely voters are cited as to why.

When a Democrat leads by 5 points or less, the race is tied.

When a Democrat leads by 6-9 points, the Democrat has an edge.

When a Democrat leads by more than 9 points, the poll goes unreported.

When a Republican leads by 5 points or less, the Republican has a significant lead.

When a Republican leads by 6-9 points, the Republican has a commanding lead.

When a Republican leads by more than 9 points, it's a mandate. This term may also be used if the Republican wins by any margin.

Familiarity with these terms will mitigate stress when seeing them used by the media.

3. You forgot just one proviso

When a Democratic candidate maintains a lead of more than 9 points in a state, the pollster may label that state "Leans Democrat" in their electoral map.
When a Republican candidate maintains a lead of more than 9 points in a state, the pollster may color it deep, dark, saturated red.

Citation from your link: Pennsylvania is rated as "Lean Obama" in CNN's Electoral Map.

4. Hilarious!

...oh wait...if this had been written by a Republican, it would be hilarious.

Since you're not one, it's only amusing.

5. One more - If a newish DUer posts a poll showing Romney ahead/tied/ whatever...

when all the other polls show Obama winning the state he/she is just "concerned".

This also applies to long time DUers who post nothing but negative stories/polls.

6. That pretty much sums it up.
