I have a question about these polls:

[cliffordu]

Have the pollsters had ANYTHING right this season??

They completely blew it on super Tuesday, and fucked up the Texas predictions...

Yet the Hillster's keep crowing about all these one point changes in the way the wind blows -

DO any of the pollsters have ANY integrity or reliability????

:shrug:

1. They are very disturbing

As far as the national polls go, even if they are 30% off it's still horrifying that so many citizens of the U.S. would consider continuing business as usual, robbing other nations of their natural resources and putting the few in charge of the many. The great experiment has eroded into politics of good vs evil.

2. They are very accurate at invoicing their services

3. they're totally warping things

How could there be so many more Dems than Repubs in an alleged statistical dead heat.

The answer might just be Diebold.

This is a worse case scenario and I don't feel it has to work out this way but it's satire though truly reflects what we're up against.

Think unity and LANDSLIDE people. The only way that senile wanker McCain can win is by utter and absolute fraud.

5. It's more than fraud...

I don't know if it's something primal or some additive in our food or something, but there are a lot of sheer evil people that live among us. I run into people all the time who think war is an unavoidable component of humanity. They all lean Republican, of course.

I'm in a very Democratic area, but I run into these folks all the time, so I can imagine what it's like elsewhere. I believe the polls are true, but I can't understand how people can be so callous.

Most likely it's just a failure in our constitution. The way our politics work has divided our country. And there are more bad and uncaring people than concerned people. It's that simple. If we lose this next election, it will be clear our country has failed.

4. The main problem is they don't properly emphasize soft support and undecideds

Because soft supporters can change their mind easily enough. The polls don't show them, so the polls aren't showing their uncertainty properly. Kinda annoying.

6. The polls are LESS reliable these days because of cell phones (no land lines), and

the few households that actually answer phones anymore.

I don't blame the pollsters. If people don't have land lines or don't pick up the phone, the pollsters can't poll as well.
