The same thing I say on the "Bush is losing in the polls" threads --- how on earth can there be a reliable poll today? Who answers their telephones anymore if they have caller ID --- or are at work all day? They can't do a man on the street kind of poll --- that certainly is no good cross section either. Exactly how are these polls made up? How does any pollster even pretend they have a good representative number of anyone? Maybe it's those pop-ups that keep coming up on our screens asking us who we would vote for? Those are the absolute only polls I've seen or heard of lately.

Don't see why you need a really reliable poll today.... but somewhere to start from helps I'm sure. Heck you have to have some ideas of where you are and where you need to go even it's off by a factor of X percent. It's been way too many moons since statistics for me but methodologies are there to fairly accurately measure the populace.
