What is your view on the pollster's calling to get your opinion...
To me, one thing that was pretty interesting about the pollster's, when they call, the Democrats "seem" to be more willing to answer questions and talk with them, most of the calls to registered Republicans hang up, so the polls only reflect that of the people that answered the questions and thus tend to favor the Democrats.
Which makes sense when the Republicans have been behind in the polls and then win in the General Election.
President Carter was ahead by about as much as Obama is now, and then was wiped off the map by Reagan in that election.
Kerry and Gore was suppose to be in the same spot about a week before in the election and again were beaten.
I have gotten about four or five calls by pollsters both automated and a person calling in the last few weeks and I just hang up, I will let the voting booth be my "Poll", not interested in playing their games.
So I figure it is anyone's race about now....
Anyway, I started this poll to see what people think out of curosity, thanks for voting.
