If every American weighed three hundred pounds, lived in a mansion, and had five Cadillacs...Pretty close! The same media that wets themselves over the "Two Americas" speech runs a special report on obesity every week.
HEADLINE: Obese children, overweight pets, immoble grandmas, corpulent parents, the SUV crisis and the role of genetics.

I don't ignore them for only one reason .. it tells me who THEY are.
The same week that Gallup came out with their latest poll showing Bush at 53% .. out came CBS and Newsweek with their polls showing Kerry ahead of Bush. I can read a lot into that. If the 53% wasn't right .. there wouldn't have been any need to put out phoney polls showing Kerry ahead.
We know the pollsters lie .. and the LAT has proven that more than once.

To: CyberAnt
What I find interesting .. right after Edwards was picked there were all the prognastications about the "bounce" Kerry was going to get. A couple of days went by .. no bounce .. several of the very credible pollsters said .. no bounce. Then .. out of the blue here is Newsweak and Zogby showing that Kerry got a bounce and now he's ahead of Bush. However .. none of these polls have Kerry above Bush's 53% which Gallup had several days ago .. and Newsweak and Zogby had Bush back down to the usual 44%.
If you go back and look at Reagan's '84 win .. the numbers were very similar .. like those same pollsters had done the same thing to Reagan .. making it appear Reagan was losing .. when in effect THEY ALREADY KNEW HE WAS WINNING.
This whole thing with the numbers has only one purpose. The purpose is to get us discouraged and defeated and TO GIVE UP. I simply refuse to allow that to happen.
As you suggest, polls often function to manipulate popular opinion, rather than to represent it. That's why I am deeply suspicious of most of them.

Am I on your Steyn Ping List? I seem to be missing a lot of these.
If I'm not on it, please add me...if I am on it, there is a glitch somewhere.
