These polls are meaningless. Dozens a day come out and none are correct. Anyone that listens to pollsters is an idiot.

This is not an issue the federal government should be addressing, nor should it be paying for it. This should be handled by the jurisdiction that issues the business license. Each “community” should be allowed to be different and determine what businesses are allowed based on zoning and licensing tools. I am against “abortion for convenience” however this continual drive to outlaw abortion at the federal level will not be enforceable, just like prohibition and the war on drugs, we will simply drive it underground into dangerous environments. We are really destroying our own “conservative” missions with this debate as EVERY piece of legislation and every conversation is derailed over abortion.

Yes and no.

First, Assuming (a large assumption) the methodolgy remains constant, they do show trends, which is valuable information.

Second, I do believe the “topic” type polls tend to be more accurate than a “person” (who are you going to vote for) type polls.

Third, Rasmussen is a good polling outfit, and without the absurd bias of Gallup, etc.

Finally, this poll is unfortunate; I understood the trend to be the other direction.
