"So the polls are not correct? "

The best polls are what the majority of consitituents tell their congressmen, who are up for re-election in November,in very strong terms.

Even SEN. KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON (R), TEXAS, who is a Senator has had an earful from fer up constituents, who are overwhelmingly AGINST amnesty as in:



DOBBS: And senator, Senator McCain is saying you are doing the will of the American people. Where in the world -- what planet is he on?

HUTCHISON: Well, Lou, I think that he's very sincere, and I think that...

DOBBS: Well, I am not talking about his sincerity. I am sure he is sincere. I am just asking where in the world is his attachment to reality?

HUTCHISON: Well, it's not what I am hearing from my constituents. I have been doing phone tallies, of course, to know where people are, e-mails, faxes and phone tallies. And this week I had 1,578 call in against the bill and 12 called in for it. That's what I'm hearing everywhere I go.

Polls are fine, but even more important is what constituents tell their congressmen, and the actual voting in November.

Ok, I think I understand now. The polls you posted were all good, but the polls from May and June are irrelevant because polls are not as good as constituent feedback. Gotcha!

A 2 minute discussion with Lou Dobbs throws out every poll...except yours.

If Ted Kennedy cited that 95% of his constituents were in favor of a guest worker program, would you then conclude that the information was more reliable than random polls? Or is it just certain senators whose calls are reliable?
