Are You Consumed by the Poll Numbers

[rsmith6621]

Everyone........We need to take our Heart,Mind,and Eyes off theses polls......

Frankly I could care less about them.....they are all skewed and mostly loaded including ole faithful ZOGBY......

I think someone in here yesterday said it best......these polls are conditioning us for a loss.........

In my 26 years of being legally able to vote Ive never been polled and Ive live in various places.There is a hidden group of voters I belive out there who are going to knock a GRANDSLAM for KERRY.

Delete your bookmarks to these polls and go knock on a neighbors door, go window shopping and be deliberate in talking about Kerry with others...there is only 15 full days left....

Rememebr POLLS DONT VOTE!!!!!!!!!

1. The polls are all skewed. n/t

2. The 2000 polls right before election day, they showed Bush up by 8.

And we know that didn't happen. Polls are meaningless.

The reason the GOP tries to get the polls to lean their way:

*candidates who appear to be leading tend to garner more support & monetary donation
*some stupid people vote based on who "everyone else is voting for"

3. the polls are meaningless for two reasons (at least) . . .

first, they're skewed toward Bush by sample selection and by the desire of the corporatocracy (of which most pollsters are a part) to see BushCo remain in office . . .

and second, they're missing a HUGE hidden Kerry vote among new voters, people who only use cell phones, Republicans who won't tell pollsters they're voting for Kerry, minority voters who will turn out in record numbers thanks to the likes of Sean Combs and Andre 3000 of Outcast, and young voters scared shitless about the draft . . .

Kerry will win the legitimate vote handily . . . whether the touch screen machines in key states will report the vote accurately is another question altogether . . .

4. polls = unreliable

The polls are going to be bullshit this year, especially EXIT POLLS on the day of the election.

Early Voting locations and absentee ballots are going to make it all moot.

It's a turnout war. Who can best get people to turn out.

5. I look at the polls occasionally,

because I know that seeing Bush leading before ED will make the victory even better!
