"I don't see why you can't see that the numbers get more meaningful the closer to the election we get because more people are paying attention!"

Oh but I do. I just happen to think it's dishonest to pick & choose what numbers you feel are meaningful. Once the conventions are over & there have been a debate or 2, then the numbers become a lot more meaninful. But, early trnds should not be dismissed 'out of hand'. This is especially true if the trend is going against you - it should be a call to action, not rationalized away with empty bromides.

Yes, they should be dismissed. They are meaningless, and the polls today are more meaningless than polls in October. Don't you see that?

And, I'm getting dizzy going around this tree. So, I'm done.
