I only trust the telephone poll, we have all seen what you can do with an internet poll.

[rocklobster11]

They are predicting a Kerry win, thinking that he is ahead in FL, PA, and OH, despite showing Bush up 49-48. They are wrong.

They are also touting the lie that undecideds break to the challenger 2-1 or 4-1, despite the fact that history shows just the opposite in Presidential elections.

I do not want to be mean , but can we all just knock it off with all the POLLS now!!
This is election day ..GO VOTE!!

[faithincowboys]

Intenet polls mean nuthin. This is a Dem hack job.

[alancarp]

These being the same people reporting that The President was up 6 points amongst the 24% of LV's that had ALREADY voted? What's up with that?

One issue about telephone polls that I have not heard much about. Many people have given up on telephones (land lines) and switched to cell phones only - especially when you can get internet via cable. (I am one of these people.)

It seems they miss the cell phone only people. I wonder how that will factor in.

I thought their final poll showed A Bush win by 49-45???

[Post Toasties]

Are the Republican monitors guarding against attempts to keep polling places open later than the law allows in hopes of loading up on Democrat votes? I remember that Democrat tactic was a significant problem in the 2000 elections.

[TexasCajun]

Dang! I thought this was a Kathlene Harris poll!

And I vote YES!

[1Old Pro]

Yesterday they had Bush winning.

Posted on 11/01/2004 7:08:37 PM EST by traderrob6 The latest Harris Poll shows Bush ahead of sKerry 49 45. You will remeber that in 2000 Harris was the only one that got it exactly right

[MHT]

Harris historically skews Democrat. But they also reported that absentee ballots were breaking for W 50 to 44.

[blogblogginaway]

I am totally baffled. Harris had Bush leading every which way other than cell phone calls last night using these same numbers. Now they take those same numbers and flip it? Can anyone figure this out?

[madison46]

I hate that stuff. Let's not post 'interactive'polls today folks ;-) Please.

[norwaypinesavage]

"Figures for age, sex, race, education, number of adults, number of voice/telephone lines in the household, region and size of place were weighted where necessary..."

Translation: "This poll is bogus"

[Witch-king of Angmar]

This is an online poll, therefore worthless.

[Nosterrex]

From what I've seen, heard, and read, when an election is this close, polls aren't that reliable. They may show a trend, but if you have a poll with a margin of error of 3 or 4, and you're talking about a candidate moving up or down by that MoE, it doesn't mean anything. That's why these pollsters have to be very guarded, and I think that they are making hunches about who is going to win the election.

[kim r.]

i'll take 49-48 bush victory. rather have bush up than skerry.

[LibLieSlayer]

This was posted yesterday... Three times... old data.

Here's a curious fact.

I'm on both the Harris poll and Zogby poll. Of course, I've been regularly answering the questions in favor of Bush.

Strangely, I haven't received a poll request for the past two weeks.
