That is correct . McCain has been consistently ahead in these AOL polls . The exception was near the debates when the Dims unleashed their pollbots .
The reason I give these polls a bit of credence is that they do it state by state and the red and blue states mirror the typical breakdown .
Also, something has to be said for online polls because of the fact that people answer honestly when it is just them and their computer, and tend to lie when asked by a real person. (Of course they are not accurate when the pollbots get to them as mentioned) That is why I think the voting booth is where McCain will gain, there it is just the voting machine and the voter, no one to judge them, and that is why the polls are nonsense to me (I am a pollster for a private company and I STILL think they are inaccurate)
