5. Weekend uptick for Bush - happened in 2000 also. Dems gain in midweek,
Pubs gain on weekends. By Tuesday, Kerry will be up again. Watch and see.

9. Yes polls conducted during the weekend usually favor

11. The other 4% had to go somewhere
With Gore's aggressive campaigning in the final days and DUI breaking, the undecideds broke toward him.

I'd say they didn't do too badly.

12. Whether or not it's bunk
I'm not qualified to say. but than neither are the rest of you. More to the point, who gives a shit? The polls still indicate an incredibly close election. Remember 2000? Most of the polls gave bush a signifcant advantage that didn't pan out on election day. We have to stop worrying about this stuff. Kerry's doing well in the swing states and that's what counts.

13. Is there anyway polls can have there own category?
...Along with not watching Cable news, I am trying to avoid the polls - they are not reality based good or bad.
