Polls don't mean jack. If polls decided elections, John Engler would have lost to Jim Blanchard in 1990. Spence Abraham would have beaten Debbie Stabusall in 2000. Jesse Helms would not have been Senator. Bush would have won Michigan. Bush would have beaten Gore in the popular vote.
The only poll that counts is election day. My vote would go to Smith if I lived there. Smith is among the best out there. That's not a shot at Sununu, but I will not abandon those that support my views because of what a 'poll' says.
I agree with you. Since the GOP is so eager to dump Smith, maybe he should renew that flirtation with the Constitution Party.
