There is a new Quinnipiac Swing State poll out, and Hillary and The Donald are in an apparent dead heat where it matters.

Anybody see anything wrong with MSNBC’s logic?* “Gender gap” may not mean what they think it means.

*Because the milk of intellectual honesty flows through your Editor’s veins, we might not have given MSNBC the full benefit of actually listening. Our impressions are based on a few seconds looking at the subtitles scrolling across the screen, so our assessment of MSNBC might be unfair. Then again, MSNBC is not known for putting things in context, so there is a limit to our reticence about leaping to a conclusion.
