Do polls mean very little when registered voters who definitely intend to vote are polled?

When the republican candiate is down in the polls all the republicans will come out and tell you that polls mean very littel. When the dem is down the dems will tell you they need a better candidate.

It is the quality of people each party attracts.

Polls mean very little because they are easily skewed by numerous factors. Not the least of which are where, how and of whom you ask the question. How do you know that any poll was really asked of registered voters? Because they said they were! How do know what party these voters are registered under? Because you asked them! Do you realize that if you ask 1000 voters in Dallas Texas the same question that you ask 1000 voters in San Francisco that the results will be different? They can state how scientific polls are all they like, but the reality is that all too often the results do not fit the poliing data. This calls into questions the actual validity of polls of which there is very little.

The polls have been right 3 times in the last 100 years, that means most of the time the people who lead in the polls early lose

It is impossible to know whether a person polled is being honest, whether they understand the question, whether the question you are told was asked is what the person was actually asked...I could go on.

Polls are completely meaningless.

The liberal media tries to stop GOP supporters every election cycle by calling states early based on "exit polls". They are wrong a lot.

You will certainly find people who think polls matter, but they do not.

They might, that's a big, huge might, help you to understand trends, but that's it.

According to the polls we haven't had a Republican President in 20 years. Dems usually lead in polls, but young people never show up to vote so the Republicans win. Sad but true.

This time a year (Dog Days of Summer) even those polls don't matter.

Latter, closer to the election the polls you should worry about are not the junk polls that call everyone but as you say those with a record of making it to the polls every election.

And even then those polls may turn out wrong.

They mean something in that with the poll you show, it means that Republicans have to quiet down about how great their man is doing in the polls. The final poll will be the election, but polls such as this one are good indicators of how it's going. We're starting to see some dropping off of McCain now that his "attack the celebrity" crap isn't new anymore.

The thing to remember with polls are this, they polled 1000 people. We have 300,000,000.00 in this country. Kerry was winning in the polls on election day in 2004.

contained in the sturdy previous state of Maine you may sign in the day of the vote. you will possibly desire your identity for sure affirming your present day place of abode and place of birth. i'm unsure on Social protection card. in the adventure that your extremely reason on balloting not something could end you from showing up and a minimum of asking your community polling sales area in case you may sign in there.

Polls mean very little.
