Kerry Spot points out that the Pew poll showed a massive shift toward Kerry in certain quarters over the one week polling period. For example, Bush went from a 20-point lead among young voters (under age 30) to a 14-point deficit. What could have caused a net shift of 34% in that group? And the poll shows a similar finding among seniors.

Swings that large usually mean that both polls are wrong and the truth is somewhere in between.

One of the young people interviewed as part of Hannity's "man on the street" interviews today expressed draft anxiety. There might be a whispering campaign going on that Bush will cause a draft.

Nothing could cause a shift like that.

Nothing.

That alone shows the polls to be invalid.

Good question. Here is a possible answer: what was the sampling and weighting?
