There was one poll I was looking at today where the independants were polled and the raw numbers had McCain up 56-33 and then the weighted numbers had Obama up 52-36. In other words their weighting took out only the McCain supporting independants.
The pollsters make money when they sell their polls. The media is the main buyer. If the results are countering the media’s deliberate, deceitful bias they won’t buy and distribute them. The polling organizations are clearing trying to make money, to he** with the truth.
