For awhile it seemed there weren't very many polls. Now they are coming out all over the range of possible outcomes.
All the polls to date have two consistent findings:
The number is for Bustamante falls between about 25% and 35%.
McClintock polls no higher than 3rd place and is below 20%.

McClintock polls no higher than 3rd place and is below 20%. Has there ever been an Alphabet Poll (ABC, NBC, CBS, LA Times etc. etc.) that overestimated the voting support for a conservative candidate ?

This puts Tom in the top group for the debate. We'll see where the numbers are after Sept 17.

This post, and #14, nail the situation at present.

The polls are definitely all over the place, and that may well be somewhat intentional, and somewhat unintentional, as there are a great number of possible methodologies of doing a somewhat credible poll in this situation.
Take five. Wait until after the debates.
