"Where in the world have I ever said that polls ('snap shots') in May equal actual results (actual 'snap shots' on election day) in November? I never said said anything even close to that. The actual results are the ONLY way to judge accuracy in polls on any particular ONE day."

So what exactly are you arguing about then?
We still don't have RCP averages for November 2006..yet.
We only have RCP averages for MAY, and RCP averages for May 2004 had Hanoi John Kerry comfortable on top too...and he lost in November

You simply don't have a point.

I don't have a point? LOL Give me a break.

My point is that RCP averages have proven to be INCREDIBLY accurate. I have election day results to prove that. What do you have to prove that they are NOT accurate on ANY GIVEN DAY? Nothing.

I cannot prove that polls prior to election day in 2004 were accurate--just like you cannot prove they were inaccurate. I cannot prove that the RCP polls taken today are accurate--just like you cannot prove they are inaccurate. The only proof we have is the proof on any GIVEN election day. Verifiable RCP results stand on their own merit.

For the umpteenth time, RCP polls have proven incredibly accurate on the days they can be accurately measured (election days). If you cannot understand the logic discussed above,,,there is no need for you to respond. I promise I won't waste anymore time on something so blatantly obvious. Have a nice day.
