Please give me examples of polls of registered voters which are known NOT to have cooked numbers.

(E.g. not just the numbers of Dems vs Pubs, but any mention of quotas or weighting factors...)

I have read over the past week some other pollsters point out that the polls simply do not exhibit volatility on the short time frames over which we have seen swings in this campaign--that this is indicative of shenanigans or secret sauce on the part of the pollsters.

Cheers!

How much time do you think I have on my hands? I work with a SWARM of libs I have to deprogram!

The other morning two of them were talking about the election, and I wish I had it recorded--they were ACTUALLY quoting ad material back and forth to each other as if they'd both done independent reading about the election. I just laughed at them--I had heard almost every line they said in ads!

Hit POST too soon.

I look at tons of polls, and the first thing I do after seeing the results is look at the party breakdown. If it's insane--like the one with Obama up NINE that was some ridiculous number like 53-Dems, 29-Reps--I just move on.
