Regarding your posts 229 and 231, I agree with what you said in 229. As for polling, it isn't so much that I am biased against pollsters. I have no doubt whatsoever that, as in all fields of human endeavor, some are honest and some are not. But, even at its best, polling is an art, not a science. In the political realm, even polls conducted with stringent statistical processes by honest people are often manipulated by media who report on their results. Political polls, especially those far out from election day, are intended more to manipulate and form public opinion rather than merely report it.

I agree.
