Results of polls should report on who was polled, how the poll was done.



Agree and the poll internals are important in assessing the polls purpose, type, etc. Some will share their internals and others don't. Political polls are tools and nothing more as the final determinate is secured on voting day. But if you look at polls leading up to an election and then look at the results of the voting most will be a fairly accurate predictor....

Well --- obviously a poll done one day after a person agrees to run in an election is not going to be reliable in any way.

Also any poll done by part of the media --- such as CBS -- can be scrapped because the media obviously has become such a part of the democrat party --- they have an agenda in their poll results.
