Everybody’s got opinions. Nothing knew there. A grain or two of salt is usually worth taking when looking at polls.

I agree polls get more accurate as to the final outcome the closer they are to the actual election. But polls can and do reflect a moment in time. That result will change with the next moment in time that is measured. I don’t buy into the crap that all polls are wrong just because some result that one wants doesn’t emerge. If they were crap then companies wouldn’t pay huge dollars to have them taken.

At this point in the game Reagan was... no... you go do the research and check out what polls said then. Look at them all the way up to November 1980. Check out Reagan's campaign status in 1979. I worked on his campaign in my State. It was not pretty... but we knew where Americans stood and we also knew not to trust anyone's primary polling numbers.

Way too much money is greasing palms... romney is spreading around cash like peanut butter. Back to 1980... Reagan's polling numbers did not reflect reality during the primary and leading up to the election... and they certainly did not reflect it on election night.

Do you remember when peter jennings said, "Tonight the American electorate had a temper tantrum". He believed his network's polling too.
