Its all garbage. None of these polls will mean anything until the week before the election.

"None of these polls will mean anything until the week before the election."

While I agree with your statement, these polls do drive the poll-addicted liberals crazy. Just seeing this poll with Obama slipping and McCain gaining makes for a good day knowing the moonbats are flipping-out on this fine Friday.

I agree that normally the polls don't mean much, but a whole lot more people are paying attention this time. Polls really influence the uninformed too. So any trend that shows McCain/Palin are gaining or leading will help some of them jump on the Palin bandwagon.

To some degree. But polls do give some indication of the shift in the opinions of voters. It is impossible to know who will actually vote and how representative the sample actually is.

Rasmussen is about the only tracking poll that has been reliable over the last few years.

If these numbers are true, then Senator Obama should be very worried.

Senator Obama has had incredible amounts of help from the MSM, yet this is the best he can do at this point?

No, it’s not all garbage. The polls show trends and that’s helpful. But I certainly wouldn’t stake my campaign on the exact numbers.

I heard Rush say that yesterday. I think it’s more the case with media and media sponsored polls. Rasmussen is a pretty straight shooter and he’s not sponsored by the MSM or the ‘Rats.
