Agreed--and in fact, it sounds like ALL of the candidates had better internal numbers than the pollsters did. Kent Hehr, for instance, appears to have had very good numbers for Calgary Buffalo.
I really wonder what the problem is. No cell phone calls? Calling at the wrong times of day?
It may be that people find pollsters annoying and tend to hang up on them (I know I do) and so their samples, while not biased, may not to be all that robust... I dunno--I'm not an expert. I just know that if this is as accurate as they can be, they likely shouldn't bother.
