Is ACORN Playing into the Polling Data?

During elections, you have polls that are published. It seems simple.

If you were to ask the voter why polls are published, you would probably get a variety of answers from; it is a snapshot of how voters feel, to the media is trying to influence an election.

Arguably there is a perception of truth in polls that are published for the purpose of gauging voter's attitudes. The question should be asked, how accurate are the polls or more importantly how accurate are the polls to the reality of the dynamics of the political landscape?

Because when it comes time for the final tally of the votes, two things will happen. One, if the pollsters are wrong, they lose credibility. And two, in this election where race is fanning the flames of an emotional election on one side, polls can be pointed to by the losing party as proof that the election was stolen from them.

So it is from this point; the credibility of polling data must be examined.

as well as at least three deceased aldermen and a dog.

Registering canines is a stupid move by Obama. Everyone knows that dogs vote Republican 2-to-1.

Sharpton is on a 1 week trip accross the country to get voters registered. He says its just to make sure everyone that votes gets registered in time to vote. Wonder how many Republicans he will get registered.

Rasmussen rationalizes the adjustment on what he terms the partisan trends.

Translation: I''ve got to fudge the numbers for Barry because he's actually getting his tail kicked.

The next step in the process for this criminal organization might be to round up bodies to match these fictitious voter registrations? What happens at the polling place when the stiff shows up to vote on a bad card? Is the stiff still allowed to vote?

If the race is close, there is a larger “demand” for polling results than if the race seems to be already decided one way or another. By keeping the horse race, pollsters keep themselves employed.

Yeah, like the Leftist trend to stomp and destroy pollsters bearing bad news.

Not true. Dogs constantly beg for handouts, so they must be democrats.

This effort delivered 3,800 voter registration cards to the St. Louis Elections Board on the February 7, 2001, the deadline for the March mayoral primary in that city. A cursory check of the registration cards turned up questionable names. Shortly thereafter, election board workers spent an entire day calling the names listed on the cards and found that nearly all of them were fraudulent.

Keeping in line with ACORN's registration activity in IL, where they have miraculously managed to register 75,000 new voters... in a state which already has 200,000 more registered voters than adults who are eligible to vote.

[Osama Obama]

I'm a little confused. The article says the polls are incorrect and do not reflect what will occur on election day. Is the idea that the polls (because of the added weight given to Dem voters) showing too much strength for Obama that won't be there in the actual vote; or do they show too much McCain support that won't show up on election day (because of the obvious effort to stuff the ballot box by ACORN)?
