If the poles are considering the number of registered voters in a state and some people are registering ?

the new way to poll is to base it off of the registered people and they have a couple of other tire irons they throw in there.. An average poll will have approx 800 dems and 600 Reps ( cant remeber the actuall number but remeber the spread based on a pollster essay ) and then when you ask a Rep on the average they will not answer the right way because we dont like people messing with us at home--more so than the Dems. So what the pollsters are saying right now the Polls should be showing Obama way out there just based on the Rep Dem spread and then even further out because of the other elements

But none of this is so and the most reputable polls have a 2 point spread with it closing even more now that Colin Poweel went race

No, that wouldn't affect the polls. The controversy over multiple registrations is essentially that people being paid to register voters faked large numbers of the registrations, most likely so they would get paid more, not to commit voter fraud. Nobody named Mickey Mouse, as many of the registries were filled out, is going to be allowed to vote when they show up at the polls, nor is the same person registered under the same name going to be able to vote multiple times. The bigger danger is that the result of so many fraudulent registration cards is that it will make it more difficult for them to properly process the valid ones and some people who should be able to vote won't.

None of that has anything to do with the polling data, which comes from random calls to specific registered voters. They aren't calling the same people multiple times, they are gathering the lists and then calling a random cross section of people from it, assuring that their cross section properly reflects the voting public and other techniques common among pollsters. They also do "likely voter" polls, since many new registrants don't vote. A likely voter is usually someone who voted in the previous election and who hasn't moved in the last four years. As they tend to be a few years older and wealthier on average, they trend a bit more republican than the registered voter polls. Regardless, neither is affected by the ACORN scandal or anything like it.

Registering somebody 75 times and having that person show up 75 times to vote are two different things. However, this just sets up the stage to say that these fake voters were disenfrancised and not allowed to vote. Thereby, setting up a lawsuit if Obama loses. Even though the left wing liberal media has declared Obama the winner, it is still a tie and McCain could easily win. The media is hoping all Republicans don't bother to vote and then Obama will win.

it's polls first of all...and no, those fictitious people are not on any calling list until after the election, they don't go on any phone list until they actually vote. So next time we vote a name and number will be on the list. But, I assure you the Dallas cowboys who are registered in about 6 states won't be filing from state to state to vote. The people that filled out these cards, did so because they are paid by the piece. The more they turn in the more they make. AND it is against the law to touch those cards after they are turned in.

listen hun, this is all a preemptive excuse for losing in a couple of weeks. I'm sorry to disappoint you.

I am not registering voters, and even if I was, I wouldn't just try to register one party. That seems a little desperate. What's surprising to me, though, is that blatant spam like this has been up for 10 minutes without being reported. The Yahoo police must be taking another coffee break.

the Polls are based on random calls to landline phone numbers and are not based on voter registration records. I'm also not sure where this info comes from about massive voter registration fraud but even if it were true this would not affect the polls. Young people tend to own cell phones instead of landlines. So Obama is actually even further ahead than the polls suggest.

Why would the people of Poland care about registered voters in our state?

Oh the Polls?

Trying to pretend the polls are inaccurate and fixed is a common Republican tactic. Knowing something about the way they are conducted would help you not look so silly when you join the whining.

No person registered twice in a state can vote twice.

I know you are trying to blame Obama's upcoming win on something other than a obvious majority. Obama will win because more people want him than do McCain.

You will have to show positive id in order to vote....you can't be registered more than once or they will CATCH you....why do you think they have caught all the fake registrations so far? Because they can't be duplicated in the system.

No, no and no. Polls conducted by phone are done by placing random calls. They don't work off a list of registered voters. The scenario you describe simply cannot happen.

What republicans are doing is worst than this. McCain has hired more than 18000 lawyers to suppress voter rights. Their objective is to prevent first time young voters from voting. Young people are our future and we should be encouraging them to vote but McCain will be harassing them at voting time.

All Young People take a note. McCain is against your most fundamental right - he wants only people above 60 years to vote.
