"Polls now are meaningless"

If polls are "meaningless", on what do you base your assertion that Rudy will split the Republican Party and but the red states into play?
Meanwhile, those same "meaningless' polls said Republicans will lose both Houses last November, and Republicans did.

If polls are "meaningless", on what do you base your assertion that Rudy will split the Republican Party and but the red states into play?

Try history, such as 1992, when Bush drifted left and split the party. Rudy is not a drift leftward for the party, but a lurch.

Meanwhile, those same "meaningless' polls said Republicans will lose both Houses last November, and Republicans did.

I know this can be a difficult concept, but try to grasp it. The closer you get to an election, the more relevance polls have. 22 months is an eternity.
