There is NO way there can be such a dramatic difference from poll to poll. Especially the internals on some of these.

I drew the line when I saw a poll that had Kerry ahead with the Men and Bush ahead with the women.

GOTV.

1. a week or 2 back i read
a professor that had done a statistical correlation on the 4 (i think) biggest polls.

conclusion. virtually NO correllation. you could have done about as well rolling dice.
the polls are meaningless.

2. I found one I like
Look at the second section of this one:
http://fabmac.com/FMA-2004-10-27-Battleground-Ballot.pdf

You wont see THAT on CNN anytime soon!

It weights for the turnout according to exit polls in 2000 and then extends that for the new registrations, etc. Btw, this why they want to suppress minority turnout (as usual but especially this year).

idea. It just doesn't make any sense.
