I don't worry about polls. I used to do them for a living so I know how much BS they can be. (The poll I worked on about the 1996 Pres. campaign had Clinton winning with 60% of the popular vote. Of course that didn't happen.) I enjoy pointing out problems in the poll rather than taking them @ face value.

Too many people here believe every poll that is bad for Bush but any poll that is a positive for Bush is dismissed as unreliable.

I agree. I think I read that in the 1980 Reagan-Carter matchup, there were 23 opinion polls taken - total.

The news outlets are now engaging in polls to MAKE news, so they are unreliable on their face.
