"Polls failed in 2004..."
I like to think we FReepers had a lot to do with that failure. In the days leading up to the election I voted in favor of John Kerry on nearly every one. I did it along with a large number of FReepers just to show the fallibility of polls. When it came down to the election I voted for Bush in the one poll that really counted.
Frequently they "cook" polls. They ask more Dems than Reps or they ask them biased questions.
You did?? You voted 'Kerry' on polls??? hahahaha. Good for you.
