2. They stole it from DU
It's obvious.

First off, no hyperlinks.

Second, notice that some of the links are abbreviated, ala DU? Some of them trail off with "...". They didn't even bother to post full links!

Bunch o' morans!

3. They admit it...
"That is exactly what the @$$holes at DU did. I got those polls from their site. At least Freep the major news sources and battleground states."

18. That made my day!
Those that trail off just lead to error pages.

4. I saw a freeper post where they admitted they got the list here.
Of course, their antique site doesn't automatically convert to hyperlinks, so they'd have to cut and paste or manually type all of the URLs...

7. They stole the list from us. But I'm curious
do you have to register to get on DU or can you browse, copy, and paste without registration.

12. You only have to register to post
You can browse all you want.

Doesn't matter though. Tons of freeptards are registered here anyway.

8. They stole them during
the first presidential debate also. Someone here posted a link back to the thread at freepville where they said they took the list from DU.

Typical repuke, only way they can get ahead is thru lying, cheating and stealing!

10. LOL...Look at this:
The RATs and Soros have paid well for these polls to be hit hard by their followers.

Hey, Soros, where's my check?

to actually do something with it.
