Let me EXPLAIN the problem with polls
We all know we have 18 battleground states. Polls (at best) are nation wide. MOST people still do not know anything about JK if you live in a non-battle ground state.I live in CO and there are very little ads here for JK. IF I got polled in a non battleground state I may very well might say Bushit because I do not know better and don't want to sound stupid and uninformed. After being out there for over a year( with state petitions) all I hear from people are what Rush and Sean tell them. I wish I had a $1 for ever time I heard they could not vote for JK because he was a 'flip=flopper'!!After the Convention and after the debates we will have a much better idea how things are REALLY looking with the famous swing voter.IMHO

3. That about sums it up. Really. It's amazing, isn't it?

2. I agree
1) No one has ever asked ME (or anyone I know) to participate in a poll, so I don't know who the numbers are representative of.

2) I don't think I've seen a single presidential campaign ad on TV (I have watched a few online).
