Where are these polls??? And who are they polling??? Do you put faith in the polls?? I don't think I do, and honestly, wish the media would just shut up about them already. I think I'm just so ready for this race to be over. |
Those are valid questions. I'm not a statitician so it's hard to say which polls are most relevant. I think the best way to determine how accurate they are is to go back historically and compare poll results with actual outcomes. I haven't done that so I don't really know.
A funny aside, my mom was polled last week. She told me she told them she was voting Obama. I know she isn't, so I asked why she would say that. She said, "I don't think it's anybody's business how I'm voting." My mom! LOL!
