110. No, that's not really a "connection".

Do you bring up ES&S every time a poll is mentioned? Or, every time a poll is mentioned, a pollster named Frank? If not, why this time? Why is this more connected to a different polling company, or to an election machine company, than all the other polls there have been in 20 (or 24?) years?

Anyway, since you've now remembered that it wasn't Pew, you can see there's no connection.
