2. Yes and no
We DUers know that the polls are stupid and skewed. HOWEVER, there are some people who think they mean something. And these people get discouraged when they see Dumbya up by 10 points when he clearly shouldn't be. It's stupid and people shouldn't be so easily fooled, but if it keeps a few Dems from getting discouraged then I'm happy to take a few seconds to do it.

Also, the media has a little more trouble spinning their stories to the right when all the polls suggest otherwise.
