Why Polls Lean to the Right
More data on why cel phone usage and call screening undercounts Democrats and youthful voters. This comes from that biased mouthpiece of the Left -- the Consumer Electronics Association.
Add this to the The Guardian (10/21/04) article America's Hidden Vote by Sidney Blumenthal. (Couldn't get to the Guardian when I tried just now. Give it a go later -- the Brits are sleeping now!)
I'm getting poll burn out. but I can't stop obsesively reading and worrying over every stinkin' poll and poll analysis article I find.
AAARRRGGGHHHHHHH....
good stuff:

I just heard Russert mention "the new ABC poll" this morning has Bush only 49-48....
Is this the ABC/WaPo tracking poll? If so, I can't find that number... all I've got is yesterday's 50-46. A shift to 49-48 would be dramatic!

Dear Mr/s. Marius,
Fretting the polls is a harmless condition: it has no effect on the outcome of the election, brings harm to no one (as your current significant other has probably already left due to you not having a life, s/he isn't being ignored) and keeps you away from campaign headquarters where you would obviously drive the volenteers nutz, doing more harm then good, so relax - your where your suppose to be!
Tip to bloghead:
People are more prone to post comments if their comments are posted straight to the site. You can always go back, read them for merit, and delete as the case may be. Moderated boards get very little feedback/ comments.
