    Nobody ever calls me, except the bill collecters, salesmen, scammers and my wife's dog's vet (for her bi-annual appointment.)

    Never no YAHOO or GALLUP.

    Is Gallup really in New Mexico?

    you've some mind's eye about how polls are performed or would in case you quite believed that. you're basically attempting to plant an theory in peoples heads. maximum polls, good polls, do prepare Obama ahead. does not propose he will be in November, yet does prepare that human beings at the moment are very unhappy with what the Republicans have executed those very previous few years. As for the AOL straw poll, actually the most technically illiterate difficulty with that Edsel and McCain has admitted himself that he's one in each of them.

    On-line polls always come out more conservative than the population as a whole. Economics, mostly.

    All the other polls are in general agreement that Obama is ahead by a few points.

    Yes, I have seen it now. Thanks for alerting me. I think it's what pollsters do, but it doesn't elect a president, just allows the media something to print/show/talk about.
