Article is from Feb., but it has good historical reminders that we can use right about now, when some polls are coming out showing Hussein 10-12 points ahead of Sidney. ( just so nobody complains about using middle name of one candidate, but not the other)

The pollsters never claim to predict the election results. Their polls simply represent voting sentiment of the voting public at large as of the day they were taken.

We're the fools for trying to read too much into them.

There’s no way Hussein Osama will win. Call it Bradley effect or whatever, but when real Americans punch a ballot they will not vote for an Islamic terrorist. I have no doubt about it and have lost no sleep worrying about it.

I’m more concerned about how McCain may damage us as president. That’s what we should focus on, and be sure we’re sending him a clear message. The base will turn out to support him, and he better return the hell out of that favor.

Polls are notoriously better one day before an election than they are 5 days before than they are 10 days before than they are one month before.

This is common sense. A few days before an election, one would expect a voter to be making final decisions about how he/she will vote. A month before an election one would expect more clarity than a year before.

We are 3 weeks prior and there is time yet for opinions to change. I, for example, have decided that the Constitution Party is my fall back position. I intend to vote for McCain/Palin unless something absolutely drastic happens.

“Final Results Bush 47.9% Gore 48.4%”

I’ll bet you Algore cringes every time he sees this.

That would have been a great T-Shirt....47.9%

Except for one thing about polls..
Polls are LESS THAN 50% accurate..
Polls are sophisticated propaganda...
