Everytime anyone watches the news, there is poll, after poll, about the election.
Do you believe the poll results?

Nah. Most times polls are slanted to try to make themselves self-fulfilling prophecies. All too often the people reporting the polls shop around until they find a poll that supports the position they want you to think is going to win so you will fall in with the crowd. It's called "Group-think". It means you agree with the group to fit in or because you feel that since so many people think it it must be true. Be original and independant and think for yourself rather than following the polls like cattle to the slaughter.

NO Speculation on poll data is like shooting craps...the pundents and political "analysts" and pollsters all have found a great job...whatever they say or do does not effect their paycheck
Kinda like Congress except they don't have even produce anything and when they do decide to work manage to to produce themselves a pay raise....
Any of us could create analysis and data just by listening to the talk in the local bars but hey -half those guys never make it to the polls...

you're entitled on your theory, needless to say. however the belief of evolution makes too a lot experience. It explains why we've appendixes and tailbones that do no longer something interior the well-known human physique. It explains various little imperfections interior the human physique that i might have expected a acceptable writer to have surpassed over, had we actually been crafted by capacity of hand.

Polling involves a touch of irony, because the polls try to predict elections, but they don't take into account an important factor--the polls themselves. Polling in the media can sway elections because it energizes voters of the guy who's behind.

I don't ever fully "believe" polls ever since the 2004 election. Kerry was supposed to win in a landslide.

Anthony, I don't believe the post election results, never mind the pre-election results.

The election is not a fact until the fat lady sings. Polls can be right and they can be dead wrong. Ever read about the Dewey-Truman debacle?

Nope. Polls are like stocks, or auctions. Don't trust the trend until it's over.
