Just curious.

    No they won't. If they have an opinion, they won't give it up.

    I love it. Two weeks ago the conservative story was that all of the polls except Rasmussen were in the tank for Obama. Now you are asking if people who you perceive to be "liberal" are going to play the same game. I doubt it. The polls are what they are.

    I think it would be great if Romney won the popular vote and Obama won the electoral vote. Then perhaps we could get some agreement from both sides of the aisle on doing away with the archaic electoral college.

    This is incorrect. Polls are a random sample of registered or likely voters. Any poll worth its salt includes a description of the sampling method. I challenge anyone who believes that they are weighted based on the results of 4 years ago to show me where it says so in in the method description.

    They wouldn't have doubts if all the ballots in every state turned out "democrat" and thousands more voted than were even alive in any given state.
