Polling isn’t for gauging public opinion so much than shaping it. Once you understand that, then it starts to make sense.

Agreed. But here’s something to contemplate: IF most of these poll results are derived from telephone polling, consider the fact that most people under the age of 30 do not have land-lines. They have cell phones, and as a result of this, they aren’t being polled. Some have even gone so far as to suggest that this demographic includes most people under the age of 40. Free Republic seems to have quite a wide age representation so I’m not sure what this really means. But, I think it’s significant.
