The media is lying their collective butts off concerning polling results. They always have in my lifetime. I honestly believe that.
I personally know a few Connecticut residents who way back in 2000 promised they'd never vote for Lieberman again after his flip flop nonsense. I have not seen a word in the MSM about Lieberman's back tracking immediately after his nomination for VP, and the impact of that later on 2006 voters.
In no way should media polling results be trusted concerning anything outside of the ballot box.
Well, even some of those are suspect in Democrat precincts!
Anybody who responds to a poll concerning their votes is an idiot anyhow.
They always do and there has to be an agenda behind this...something like "make the Republicans get complacent".
