1. Gallup is such garbage

Why are they even taken seriously?

2. Nice find. You're a good Amurkin. I've begun to ignore these polls

Current polls are most definitely not accurate and we all know it. Just a couple more weeks!

3. Young Person / Cellphone factor should NOT be overlooked

There are many, many people flying under the radar, trust me.

4. And these don't even factor in Nader in 2000

Nader will be far less of a hit to Kerry in 2004 than he was to Gore in 2000.

5. You made a typo

The Newsweek poll had AWOL at 49, not 39.

6. awww, thank you so much, proud2b! :) n/t

7. Every Single One Dramatically Off

It's as if . . . the pollsters have absolutely no frigging clue, or something.

As someone here so eloquently said at some point yesterday, if a poll doesn't make common sense, ignore it. We all knew * was never tied in Maryland, nor is he anywhere close in New Jersey or even Iowa. Similarly, an eight-point movement in his favor after that frighteing performance in the third debate just doesn't pass the smell test.

8. Wow. Every single one off by 4 to 11 points

Thanks for that. I've been fretting over the polls, but it appears apparent that they have all been cooked by the corporatists and the junta.
