McCain camp calls polls showing them down big in crucial battleground states “laughable”

Mind you, this is the same crack team that didn’t bother googling Gwen Ifill before agreeing to let her moderate the Vice Presidential Debate.

Mike Allen, Politico:

McCain pushback on Florida polls: “Our polling shows us up 7. My guess is they over sampled blacks and under sampled Cubans.

McCain pushback on Q-polls: “These polls are laughable. We hope Obama thinks they’re true. The national tracking is clear: Some polls have us down 2 percent, some 4, some as high as 6. How could you have national numbers like that, but have those kinds of numbers in three of the largest, most competitive states in the country? These states are bellwethers because they closely mirror national demographics. Given the volume of campaigning in those states, we expect that they are close to the national track – if not tighter.”

Here are the numbers in question:

FLORIDA: Obama 51 – McCain 43
OHIO: Obama 50 – McCain 42
PENNSYLVANIA: Obama 54 – McCain 39
