Are all pollsters in the same...
pockets as the media, and if so, should we trust their results any more than we do their media stories?? Are all polls done in the same manner, or at least by similar standards? If we don't trust the media why would we give any credence to any polls presented by them? Is it even possible, given all the variables, to do a poll with ANY degree of accuracy?

1. The polls, like the media, have no credibility.
They are selling a product. I'm not buying. It'll all be sorted out on Nov. 2, no matter what these pinheads say.
