There are too many polls THAT WE ARE LOSING BADLY. Polling is a scumbag industry, about as reputable as the private health insurance industry.

It's all very mentally taxing.

I am asking nicely that it please stop.  


Red above is my emphasis.

4. There are good polls and bad ones... I want to see at least
 the ones known to be reliable. I will ignore the rest.

5. Democrats & Republicans are the same when it comes to polls:
 good polls are those with which we agree and support our viewpoints, bad polls don't.

Any poll that does not support what we believe cannot be valid.

8. NO! I know the methodology difference. I meant reliable

from a technical standard. Many of us on DU have heavy statistical backgrounds. Don't lump me in with that kind of superficial and childish attitude. Your comment was apparently meant to insult me, but I will chose to ignore that.



Let me fix that for you:

But exit polls showing John Kerry won the election are good enough that they should have been used to decide the election instead of the votes cast.....right?

Voter Turnout Analysis Proves Beyond a Reasonable Doubt that the 2004 Election was Stolen

The most likely base case scenario indicates that Kerry won by 10 million votes.

Guess which nut-job claims that?  :mental:  :mental:  :mental:

They chose to accept the showings of PPP polls, which are owned and paid for by the democrat party.

Check out the polling data at Real clear Politics. If it wasn't for PPP data being added in, the gap between Republican and democrat polotico's would be wider.

I know, I can hardly wait!! 

The county election board called me today, asking if I could be a poll worker this year...uh, no thanks.  It was bad enough having to work in that lousy precinct last time, but at least I was able to miss all the glee on TV over the Messiah's win. 

No way am I going to miss watching election night this year!
