The State Polls Are Enough to Drive You to Drink!!!!!!!!

I've never seen such a cluster fuck in all my life. Today, I bet I could find you a battleground stat on any of those states that says Kerry is leading by a comfortable margain, a poll that says he's getting the shit kicked out of him and a poll that says it's dead even. And, I could reverse it and show you the same regarding Bush. Hell, I probably could find one that says that Ralphie is beating both of them hands down!!! Seriously, I've never seen things so utterly all over the place in my life!!

I have to raise an eyebrow when I see things like that Quinnepak (sp?) poll that in one state (cannot even remember anymore) having a jump in a week for Bush from 7-8 down to 2 ahead. Bullshit--nothing out there is moving that fast. I really wonder if any of them are even remotely on the scent of what is going to go on in those battleground states. Just scan DU for a moment and you can see what I'm talking about and the media is even worse. This is just insane. I guess a good indicator is where you see these guys campaigning.

I wonder if they know up from down themselves??????

I don't read the polls...the headlines are bad enough since they're impossible to ignore.

I can't wait until Tuesday to get this over with....

in a week. C'mon. It just doesn't happen. Something's wrong with polling methodology if that happens.

crap. Obviously few polls are showing any kind of wild swings like that and yet when one comes out they hawk it like the gospel truth.

We do them all the time here when we're gauging whether we can run a bond election. I can say that from YEAR to YEAR we don't see shifts like that. Ever.

The same thing happened in 2000. For instance, there were polls showing NJ close (like now) before Gore ended up winning by 16.
