Something to Remember About Presidential Polling
Posted Aug. 26 at 3:44 pm by Mike Seely
Typically, those polled are likely voters, not newly-registered voters. So, in light of the fact that the Dems are whupping the Republicans' butts in terms of pumping new blood into the party, I'd take today's news that McCain is beating Obama with a fat pinch of salt (but dang, so much for that Biden bounce). My prediction come November: Obama 51%, McCain 46%, Winguts (Nader, Barr, et. al.) 3%.

Another couple things to remember about polls.
They are always, almost without exception, wrong.
More important. The sole purpose of polls is to influence, not gauge, public opinion.
