1. You're never alone.

Polls suck. Don't play with them.

2. What new poll numbers?

Is there a link?

I can't keep up with so many polls. Seems like there are more pollsters than the polled in this country.

3. No, you are not alone...

I would look ascanse at polling from the 'Lester Maddox Polling Group', too.

What I don't understand is how pumping their polls helps their cause?

8. The only reason their polling service is named Mason-Dixon

Edited on Thu Oct-21-04 02:43 PM by DancingBear

is because Bush-Cheney is too obvious - even for CNN.

10. Well the ones they showed on TV were all red states

I'd believe a poll from Idaho that had Bush up by thirty, but its from Idaho. Even Colorado and Nevada are pretty red, and its not too surprising that they'd break for Bush eventually. And even those are close enough within the MOE to not matter.

12. Mason-Dixon is a very reputable outfit

They have a good reputation, and when they put out polls you are best to listen to what they have to say, and not discount them.
