1. Since it shows PA barely Kerry
and Ohio in Bush's column, yes, it is bogus.

2. don't stress, it's the weird Zogby polls from yesterday
which are bizarre and the opposite of many other polls.

Read the details about how he does the map and don't worry.

3. He does a pretty good job
But he uses less than reputable polls as well as reputable ones so the results just show that some of the less reputable ones were done more recently.

4. Ohio is BS ...
I read recently that this is now Lean to Strong Dem.

That alone puts Kerry ahead. There will be many more moving out of the AWOL column.

5. Nope, it's accurate for the day
Friday it had Kerry kicking ass, other days it shows Bush kicking ass. It all depends on how the most recent polls came out.

Like all these sorts of things, it's a decent barameter, but it won't actually tell you the weather.

Uh, no.

7. Sorry
I get confused by all the polls. Don't know why I got worried. Thanks for setting me straight.

8. Daily Track of polls
I pull that report daily and watch the way the numbers are moving. Also watch the name who the report is from on the right column.
When you go to that site click on the data to get all the states.

10. think of it
as a worst case scenario, not a prediction.
