Polls not accurate

Ah ha, something that we agree upon. lol I hate polls for politics. I mean have you listened to the Republicans? Everytime I hear one they talk like McCain is out. Why are they doing that? Is it so all the people voting for Obama will do the whole Gore/Bush thing again? lol I hear the polls but think they are very inaccurate, they are sort of like statistics one must know who was asked. Say like for the national poll of who is for Obama and who is for McCain, if they poll more urban areas Obama's in the lead, if they poll more suburban areas McCain is.

I think we need to look passed the polls and do our research. Then vote on election day and not before. Polls aren't the answer to the election; getting out and voting for the best candidate is. People tend to say one thing and do another. Some even change their mind once they are in the voting booth.

What a surprise newtondak! There are so many polls floating around that I am amazed that anyone can make any sense of it at all anyway! The media is just as politically biased as the best of them, so I could not agree with you more that people should do their homework and vote with their consciences rather than take any serious notice of all this media hooey.

It's FOX's wishful thinking, and obviously not grounded in reality, but I'm all for its unintended effect. So yes, ignore the polls, especially Democrats. Act like you're 5 points behind in every state. Make sure you're sprinting across the finish line.

You are so right. The only thing polls are good for are a tool for candidates but as Barak Obama said, polls really do not show the truth and any candidate who thinks that they are ahead via the polls, and sits back on their laurels is doomed to lose. Look at Al Gore. He was way ahead. Of course, who knows if Bush's brother were not Governor or if they actually counted right, what would have happened. If they stopped all polls, I bet we would have better campaigns. I never go by the polls. Why would I vote for someone because I feel they are leading or trailing? I have already decided who gets my vote and never go by what they said in polls. Polls are only as good as who answers them. If you put out a poll in an area of 10,000 people and only 5,000 answer the poll, what good is it? Pollsters are not supposed to call any cell phones, and that leaves out a majority of the population. Very good post!!
