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.
Remember, exit polls on the day of election predicted a Kerry landslide in 2004.
I think if a person hasn’t made up their mind who they are going to vote for a month before an election, they probably don’t care enough to vote at all.
“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.”
Stop reading my mind!!!! LOL
When McCain got the nomination, I opened up the Libertarian and the Constitution party platforms in side-by-side windows for comparison. There’s a world of difference. It’s liberals v. conservatives.
After thinking a bit about the McCain platform, I sent the CP a donation right away.
