Answer 1

Ask Diebold. They make the machines.

Answer 2

I don't need popularity. I don't need to vote with the majority.
I am interested in principles, leadership, and ability. You can go to candidate web sites, and learn about the individuals. If you watch for a period of time you can determine which of the candidates are flopping around like a fish out of water. As the song says "If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything" We don't need a popular president, we need a principled president.

Answer 3

Slate.com is posting updates on political wagering, which they imply is a good way to trend upcoming elections.

Current odds on Hillary Clinton are about 3/1 (a bet of $33.10 pays $100 if she wins), and Rudy Giuliani's odds pay a bit better than 5/1 ($18.00 pays $100).

Answer 4

There are sites that give you the results of the most recent polls. I've included a link to the most comprehensive free site I'm aware of. However, the polling this far ahead of the election doesn't tell you much.

Answer 5

Answer 6

At tyhis time there is nothing that even comes close to knowing. Things can change very fast and most likely will more times than one before electin time.

If I knew I sure could get rich very fast.

Answer 7

I believe tea leaves and Chrystal balls are about as accurate.

The problem with polls is that they are typically slanted to one sides favor. To me that negates the usefulness of a poll.

I used to like Zogby but I believe he is becoming too politicized so his days as an accurate pollster are probably behind him.
