Gabrieli campaign sent out an email blast today to say that their internal poll finds the race tied beteen Patrick and him.
Hard to square that with the Globe’s 20 point Patrick lead poll. While I have no reason to question the veracity of their campaign’s poll annoucement, it does seem that this is just the sort of shot in the arm all their campaign volunteers would need to hear in the final stretch to keep working hard right through Tuesday night, and in that, I guess I don’t blame them…
Please share widely!
I am pretty sure the Suffolk poll was done after the last debate (the globe poll was from 9/12 -9/15). I am 100% behind Deval, but I know the last debate cost him votes, the question is how many and where did they go? I got the Gabs email too and laughed.
Even if you believe their claim, Patrick is still winning. Still, I wonder who you were talking about:

I agree with you if you’re talking about Patrick volunteers. This info has been widely circulated within Patrick support circles, and is serving to redouble the Patrick GOTV effort. The Gabber seems to be good at “getting results” like this.
The poll I want to see is the one that comes out on Tuesday.

As for the Gabrieli “internal poll,” it seems specious. Internal. Is that internal in relation to the small intestine or the large intestine?
he’s still statistically losing.

and polls tend not to count new voters.
Wasn’t there some kind of internal Gabrieli poll leaked just prior to the Convention that had him as the front runner or close to it? …15.36%
