A while back, I did a spit take when I read when the L.A. Times was reporting that voters “narrowly” opposed gay marriage when the survey they were citing indicated voters opposed it by a whopping 19 percent margin.

So yesterday, the L.A. Times reports that an L.A. Times/Bloomberg poll has Obama up 12 percent over McCain. (I haven’t looked at the methodology myself, but based on other polls that seems like a significant outlier.)

Anyway, care to take a guess at what word the L.A. Times used to describe that margin? Yep, “sizable.”
