Eh, like I have always said, pollsters make their living trying to be accurate. I don't see any grand conspiracy in attempt to manipulate, nor did I when Obama had commanding national leads.

They may very well not be accurate, I'm just sayin'.

Polls are only as good as their statistical models and things have changed pretty drastically of late. Considering that 4 years ago, Zogby, historically the most accurate, had Kerry winning the day before the election, and considering that things have changed quite a bit since then, I think the pollsters are scrambling.

I'm going to comment about this but I'm going to take it to the Obama thread.

I wish the political reporters/commentators would just stop using national polls. They're completely worthless and they know it. What matters is state-by-state polls with regard to electoral votes. Using national polls is just an excuse to have TV talking heads arguing about the latest non-news.

Does that belong in the vent thread?

Yes and no.







:D

Oh no, i never thought of that. Maybe we can quickly amend the Constitution in time for him to be unelected again.
