Good grief, he’s serious.

Via Washington Examiner:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid maintained that his party’s candidates lead “virtually all over the country,” rejecting polls that undermine that claim as compromised by bad methodology.

“We’re ahead virtually all over the country,” Reid replied during a Senate briefing when asked about a Pew poll showing that the current political environment is more hostile towards Democrats than in 2010. “I don’t need to run through the states with you, but, we’re doing okay.”

Reid said recent polls aren’t reliable because pollsters can’t get in touch with a lot of voters who use cellphones. “I read in, I think it was People magazine — one of my chief reading guides — that about 40 percent of the people no longer have landline phones,” the Nevada Democrat said, before telling a story about asking a pollster how they account for such voters. “You know what they said they do? They mathematically calculate what they think the answers would be if they got through to those people. I’d a lot rather have my method than theirs.”
