Polls are mostly sold to Media outlets. If the Polls aren't close people will pay less attention to the BoobTube and as a result Ad revenues will drop. Sooooo to keep the idiots watching the polls need to be close.

Rasmussen is one of the biggest offenders of this kind.
Here's the question NONE of these people who are telling us this race is close can answer: Since Obama is not winning a single group he lost last time and he is not doing better with ANY group he won last time - not even Blacks- how can he even be close?
The answer is they over sample Democrats and make believe there is no enthusiasm gap.

“Do you have time for a political survey?” Part of the bias is toward those who do not work, those who have 15 minutes generally in the middle of the day to answer questions. When I get a call and I’m at work, the answer is “No”. If I’m at home, I choose to contribute to give them a conservative data point. But the stay at home never working mothers, those on unemployment and many retirees and faux disabled can answer these surveys all day long.
