Which means, the polls is weighted in the Dems favor.
Which begs the question, why is this the case ? In fact, this seems to be the case most of the time...

"Which means, the polls is weighted in the Dems favor." Which begs the question, why is this the case ? In fact, this seems to be the case most of the time... I would guess that most Freepers who do get a call from a pollster simply hang up. Conservatives have real lives and do something productive with their time, so they are unwilling to spend 10-15 minutes chatting with a total stranger for a survey. Libs are far more likely to talk - they don't do real work, nor do they do anywhere near as much productive work around the house. We're always underrepresented because we self-select out of these polls, even before the pollster introduces bias on purpose.
