I think polls should be outlawed after the election(not really) but
Edited on Thu Jan-15-04 11:44 AM by candy331
it seems we are going to be polled to death by November, looks like a different poll comes out every minute of the day. I say they are all nothing but media manipulation. Even if a Democrat was ahead in the polls what pollster would show it and what media would write or air it? I think they had a place but now are becoming meaningless now except as manipulation propaganda. Damn how many more can we take?

1. Polls are as American as apple pie & baseball...
They will be around a lot longer than either of us.

2. not to mention really useful
candidate x says "yada yada yada" on monday. overnight, a poll is run showing people do not agree with yada yada yada. candidate x stops saying yada yada yada.

ideally, it shouldn't matter. a candidate should say yada if he/she believes yada but four more years and two new justices....
