Our side always complains about the polls. I have an idea;
How about we start to put out the word that Republicans are refusing to cooperate with the pollsters so the polls are useless. This will harm the ability of the MSM and left to use polls to further their story.
Also, it is probably true since the reason the exit polls were so off was that Bush supporters refused to be interviewed by the exit poll folks.
If 82% of Republicans support Bush, 20% of Democrats support Bush and 39% of Indpendents support Bush, it is immposible to get Bush's approval below 47% among 'national adults' and 50% among 'likely voters'.
People are polarized. This is true.
The only way to change that is to change minds.
People are not changing their minds.
Liberal news organizations are changing their polling samples.
It is as clear as day.
If I believed polls, Republicans would lose every election in a landslide and Bush would never be President.
In the era of three networks and the NY Times, that may have worked.
Today, it fails every time it's tried.
Maybe the Washington Post can get their foriegn corrspondents to go to Mississippi and Louisiana on a more regular basis.
