polls are useless. They give you a good idea, but what they claim is a margin of error is just incorrect. In a perfect world, their MOE would be accurate, but with the flaws in sampling to quote a MOE like they do is a joke. The fact the pollsters all have to manipulate their data to try to match some assumed population admits to serious flaw.

Good news for Juan McC. inasmuch as there is always lurking the phenomenon known as “The Bradley Effect.” Tell the pollster whatever you think he wants to hear and vote the opposite.

You got it - Polls are useless when the model weightings are constantly changing (for political push-poll reasons). Which is exactly what all the MSM polls do - They changing their weighting models in order to try and push the public's opinion....
Reality is this is McCain's race to lose....Not Obama's to win at the end of the day....
