Poll question: A Poll ABOUT Polls
Polls Schmolls..

Everyone eagerly awaits the arrival of the latest poll..to bolster their candidate's overnight numbers.. But in the end, remember they have been very unreliable in recent times..

Lets have some fun with polls..

1. One important poll is how many Democrats turned out to vote vs. how many Republicans.
For these primaries its been about 3:1 hasn't it?

11. No offense intended
I read somewhere that MI and FL were the only states in which the Repub turnout was larger.

2. As a public service to DU
I post this at least once a day to ward off evil poll troll spirits and remind us not to take them too literally:

GET THEE BEHIND ME, POLLS!
UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!!!!

10. "There are 3 kinds of lies. Lies, damned lies, and statistics." - Mark Twain
Polls can be safely included in the last category.
