(114,904 posts)As an aggregate, the polls tell us something- even if it is just a snapshot. It's foolish to refuse to deal with reality.

Just tired of the manipulation of 'snapshots' to create controversy and emotional changes.
Exactly NO ONE I met during my little bike trip - see above- and discussed politics with knew ANYTHING about any of these polls.
I had some lively discussions, too.
This shit is for political junkies, to give the talking heads something to blabber about and either thrill or terrify us.
Free republic indeed. I wonder how long it'll take before I'm being called a NAZI.
