Can You Believe The Polls
« on: October 21, 2008, 06:51:43 PM »
I realize that Ann Coulter is an ultra conservative (which makes her pretty hot in my book) but she gives a good run down of polling over the years.  I believe that the MSM trys to weigh the polls heavily in favor of the Dems because they know that there a lot of voters that will make a choice on election day simply to be on the winning side.

Pretty good analysis and maybe even a little hope.

I couldn't agree with you more which is why you must take polling results with a proverbial grain of salt.  Ann does present a great summary of polling versus actual results over the years.  I too recall being worried that Reagan was going to loose in 1984 but as Ann pointed out he went on to win the greatest electoral victory in U. S. history.

Thanks for posting the link...maybe there is a little hope.
