freep'd, but I am very skeptical about CNN's poll accuracy.

The numbers look very unrealistic. They are changing by thousands per minute late on a Thursday. I don't buy it.

Maybe a few extra left coast participants but not by this margin.

The numbers are about as trustworthy as the memo.

I don't understand the poll. What's the CBS option for? I know of a 'news' organization called See BS, but I'm unfamiliar with the acronym.

It's not accurate. No on-line poll is, since it's self-selecting.

The purpose of on-line polls is to draw hits to the website.

The polls, themselves, are worthless.

CNN polls always seem very skewed. If we can't make a dent on this one then we know for sure they should be ignored in the future.
