If the so-called “reputable pollsters” were believable, President Kerry would be finishing up his re-election campaign just about now.

I think some people have swallowed the revisionist Freeper history of all pollsters being wrong in 2004. A quick glance at the last 2004 polls show that 90% of the pollsters were predicting a Bush win. Today, 0% are predicting a McCain win.

Well when you over sample dems by 6-10% that poll normally gives it to the dem.

The very last polls I remember hearing before I voted in 2004 were exit polls on the morning of the election. Those early exit polls had Kerry winning by a substantial margin. By the afternoon, even the MSM had realized how flawed these exit polls were.

I can't give you the exact polling numbers from 2004 but I can say this.....the general attitude about the election from the driveby media types was that Kerry was going to win, infact, they made him the winner before he became the loser, IIRC......

over done polls with definate slants are equal to the driveby media constantly harping that one candidate is going to win....6 of one, half dozen of the other.....

this election cycle....we have both.....

and McPalin is still going to win.....so there....
