I want to know where the media is taking their polls.
It seems the people I talk to run pretty close in opinion to the results of this poll. No way in Hell the media is taking a cross section. They are targeting Democratic strongholds.
Probably from people who lay around all afternoon watching soap operas on TV.
My main gripe is that in many cases only about 1,200 are polled and then they claim that's indicative of how the whole nation feels.
The poll used by CNN is run by a Hindu named Gupta who is very close friends with the Clintons, if his business dealings resemble his poll results, you can't believe a word he says.
The owner of the Zogby poll, who describes himself as a 'Democrat', employs his brother who is the founder of Arab American Institute.
A publicly stated objective of the PEW Research Center is to; "influence public policy by influencing public opinion."
Here is an interesting corporate history of gallup, runs seven pages and is what Gallup says about itself.
