I agree that tweet does come off as overtly supportive of Turner. Brian (who is a pollster) will have a further breakdown of numbers later today, which I think may clarify that tweet a bit more. But from what I gander, that tweet was suppose to indicate the change in poll position from October 26th, not just the difference between the November 12th & 18th poll. If you look at those numbers Joan has dropped from 48%-35%, Harvey has gone from 28% to 30% and Turner gone 11%-25%. The Nov. 18th poll really indicates that the 12th poll wasn't an outlier and an off poll.

I agree that unless Meades drops out and pushes his support behind one of Turner or Locke it looks like we'll be at a similar mark by election day, +/- the 5% margin of error.
