    for the people quoting online 'insta-polls'...

    How can you possible take these, or yourself for that matter, seriously when you know they're being manipulated by places like DU and others?

    The CNN one alone went from Bush 70something/Kerry 20something to the complete opposite in about 10 minutes..
    not to mention the SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND vote surge for Kerry that appeared out of nowhere.

      How can people take any polls seriously when they've proven themselves to be completely worthless over and over again? Polls haven't effectively predicted a major election in my lifetime.

                  I rely on my own eyes seeing Kerry mop the floor with Bush for the 3rd time. I quote insta polls to piss off Bush supporters.

                      Quoting information you know to be inaccurate just to piss someone off is kind of childish.. no?

                      I gave the first two to Kerry (handily), with Bush getting the better of this one (slightly)..

                          Being that Kerry mopped the floor with Bush and I quoted polls showing Kerry winning I don't consider it inaccurate. By the way, of course they aren't perfect but they do give a good idea of the sentiments of citizens whether you want to believe them or not.
