Maybe more honest --- but how can anyone set up a reliable poll today? You can't go on a street corner and ask --- you only get the people who are walking down the street, you can't call up people --- then you only get the people who answer their phones. I cannot figure out how you could really get a reliable cross section of people anymore.

When it comes to likely voters, it's pretty even NATIONALLY, yet almost ALL polls are sampled heavily toward the Dims. Dims do NOT turn out to vote in higher numbers than Repubs.
