I all depends upon the poll. Some polls are of registered voters and some are of most likely voters. Some polls are very much agenda or candidate driven. They ask questions in such a way as to get the response they are looking for. Polls also can show a bias as to who they do not include. For instance if a poll asks you who you are most likely to vote for: Huckbee, Romney, Guiliani or McCain and doesnt give you a choice to select an other candidate or none of the above, then poll is disingenuous and forces you to select the lesser of evils rather than your true candidate of choice.
I for one refuse to answer polls or surveys.
The only poll that really counts is the vote I cast on Election Day. I will not vote for the candidate leading in the polls, rather I will vote for the candidate I believe is best qualified to hold the office based on Constitutional principals. For me, right now, that means my vote will go to Fred Thompson.
I will vote my conscience not the vote that popularity and the MSM says I should vote for.
