It's about time it catches on that online poles are total crank.
Reporters that write articles about pole numbers or politicians that set policy on pole trends are lazy. It's a crutch that affords them an easy ride. The national approval for emancipation in the 1860's was somewhere around 20%. Would Lincoln have been considered a great leader today if it weere 80%? Probably a great follower.

Exactly, I wish Cheney could have given a sharper comment on this when asked about Edwards selection. It seemed to me it was totally poll driven. I mean, lets stop and think, why would Kerry select Edwards? Their whole campaign is poll driven. They endorsed ever suggestion of the 9/11 commission like the day afterwards, without even reading them, just cuz it probably polled well in focus groups.
Remember when the press was saying the polls were saying that the election was all going to be about domestic issues. Then the press would run all these doom and gloom stories on poverty, economey etc.. All of a sudden it's back to terrorism. Why? Cuz the Republican convention made it so - They LED the people instead of the people leading them. People know the truth when they see it. Bush isn't poll driven, Kerry is. That's reason enough to choose your vote right there.
