I remember in the 2002 Senate elections where most pollsters and pundits(and even myself) thought that the Dems would pick up the Senate. Fortunately, the American people still had to vote and we prevailed! Personally, I think that the media, A) wants a horse race to sell ads, B) want to see Kerry win, but by a thin margin to generate interest afterwards, so they juggle the numbers. How can a poll of 626 people(for some of these polls) out of 300 million be accurate? I understand statistical analysis, but the amount of variables with these small samples is staggering!
