I do think most of the polls are really biased until the last week before the election. SurveyUSA is famous for doing that.
I did not get worried until the polls got worse in the end, instead of better.
Just so. And also, I'm beginning to think that there was a real shift towards the demoncrats right at the end.
In the lead up to the election, Rove and GW seemed genuinely confident. But I remember now, the last week before the election, GW was out campaigning in areas that should have been safely republican ... as though the internal polls had detected a sudden softness.
