What the hell is Survey-USA????????????? |
|
Went to check the Electoral Vote Projector and almost every dubious poll I could find (like scrubbie ahead in NM and comfortable in Colorado) were conducted by gallup (probably another sampling by mostly pukes) and some group called Survey-USA.

2. They've been diddled because they favor the latest poll |
|
rather than the most reliable. That's given a bunch of procorporate pubbie polls an open barn door to use to try to discourage the vote.
I mean, if Bush is gonna win no matter what, why bother? That's the thinking they're trying to promote with these bogus polls.
Bother. Even if you're in what you think is a safe Bush state, add your vote to a total. Remember, Gore won by over half a million votes without Florida. If Kerry wins by ten million, that will be a mandate, folks, something the pubbies haven't had for a very long time.

Also called a CRAP poll (acronym, I forget for what). A computer calls you up and asks you to press buttons on your choice of candidates.
