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

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?

The polls I posted are fine. Thsy serve a purpose.
That doesn't mean they trump what constituents are telling their congressmen, or trump the real elections in November.
At the end of the day, politicians want to get elected.
If the vast majority of their constituents want amnesty, they will vote for amnesty.
The fact being that overwhelmingly, Republican congressmen have their constituents tell them they are totally against any amnesty for illegals whatsoever.
In the case of SEN. KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON, it's running up to over 95% against from her constituents. Similar story with most Republican congressmen
Congressmen are elected to do what their constituents want, not what Vicenete Fox dictates from Mexico.
