I don't trust polls in mid-August.

Most politicians know that three months is an eternity in politics. Public support/sentiment can change on a dime. It's another reason to hate the media. They put us through this polling crap for far too long....

Exactly.  I've said that to people who get worried or scared when a politician loses a little ground in a media poll, and that most people who have no interest in following politics day in and day out aren't even paying attention to or give a whit to all the nuances of politics.

Public support/sentiment can change on a dime.

Absolutely.  It can change either way.  Alot can happen between now and November.

I generally don't trust polls because the media makes them front page headlines with it's own frontpage story, when it fits their agenda, and the effect of which is to depress GOP voter turnout.
