If Rich Cordray fucked the CFPB like that and doesn't win, I will personally drive to Ohio and kick his ass myself (with votes). You had one job Cordray! And it was to not fuck up the CFPB!

I'm a statistics nerd, so I watch this kind of thing like a hawk. Unfortunately, far too many people just discount 'polls' altogether unless and until they find one that just happens to agree with them. With a little education and patience, you can tease a lot of information (and refute a lot of claims) out of a poll simply by means of a careful reading. I wish people understood stats better, but I completely understand that it can be boring as all hell for most folks.

I'm an engineer and comfortable with numbers. The polls don't interest me enough to delve deep. If I want a deep analysis of polls, FiveThirtyEight usually covers that need.Regarding W. VA, I just scanned the headlines in Google News.
