A Hint About Polls
Perhaps when one posts a poll they also include the Pollster.Com or RealClearPolitics.Com average for that state so we don't accuse one another of cherry picking polls that favor our candidate...Same for nat'l polls...

1. Do you remember how the CIA planted fake polls in Venezuela
before the vote on Chavez's reforms? Turns out the polls alone influenced voters even if they were false.

I believe some of these polls in the US are also planted.

Don't be swayed by polls, they are so easily manipulated.

Just look at the 2000 presidential election exit polls and ask yourself if they rigged those polls, why not these too.

2. It's not worth the effort.
Let people post whatever they want.
