IMHO, many pollsters are resorting to push polls, changing their sampling to get the results they want and try and show something that doesn;t exist in order to influence people.

I noticed earlier today on a Rasmussen thread showing Zerobama up by one percentage point, he listed his polling data and the number of Dems polled for that sampling was significantly higher than the number of Republicans polled.

I think there's some manipulation going on amongst all of the pollsters to keep it close and maintain the public's interest.

Just a guess, though...

I agree. What a sham to ask 600 democrats, 250 republicans, and 150 independents (or some such) and then trumpet the Dems being ahead by 5%.

Smoke and mirrors and most Americans are not falling for it and will vote, particularly for Sarah irrespective of what the polls say.

It's really demeaning to the max for these pollsters to presume that people vote just because they tell them who is leading.
