remember, two things
"they are a picture of a moment in time"
ONLY POLL THAT MATTERS IS NOVEMBER SECOND
Oh and thirdly, the polls are not taking into account many factors that have been mentioned before, such as Cell phone users and newly registered voters.

1. I would not believe ANY polls |
|
take over the next 2 weeks. They are unreliable in general. At this late stage, they are too contaminated with partisan biases.

The pre-election polls are WORTHLESS.
Step away from the polllll... Step awayyyy from the polllll...
All that matters now is working triple-hard for JK/JE and our Congressional candidates.

3. I wish people would listen to this. Polls have a way of discouraging |
|
people. They are just a projection of the results of a sampling of voters that they CHOSE to call. It is not a real picture of what people across this nation are thinking. There are too damn many variables this year, and any poll that discourages democratic voters is meant to do just that.
DON'T GET DISCOURAGED BECAUSE A POLL SAYS KERRY IS BEHIND. Because he isn't. That's just what they want you to think. There are too damn many people who aren't being counted for these polls to matter.

5. Of course they did. Gallup is a supporter of this administration for |

Pete's sake. Gallup is probably the last poll that will truly reflect the real election probabilities and sentiments of voters in this country. If I had to use an example of pollsters to ignore, I most certainly would have used Gallup.
