I just posted this on one of Larry's threads, so I'll cross post it here as well:

These polling results merely reflect the sentiments of those who have agreed to respond to polls. Many knowledgeable people are beginning to realize that as the number of voters who refuse to participate in polls continues to increase, it is starting to become a statistically meaningful factor. Indeed, perhaps more important than party identification, likelihood of voting, and/or weighting.

If a significant percentage of the sampled population is refusing to participate, pollsters (nor anyone else for that matter) have NO valid basis on which to make statistically accurate measurements regarding their voting intentions. Right now, polls are so corrupted that the only thing they are measuring are the voting intentions of those who are predisposed to respond to polls.
