Remember that most polls DO LIE. The only poll that really counts is on November 6, 2012.
Vote by the polls lose by the polls. Before the primaries we were shown daily polls that showed that Romney was the only candidate that could beat Obama. He was ahead by 5 to 8 percent. I believe many of the ABO considered this when they voted. Now the economy is worse, unemployment is up, gas prices are rising, and Obama is ahead in the polls. What happened?
Old codgers like myself know this all too well from history.
It IS fun watching the astonished looks on the news reporters on election night when they are faced with reality however. : D
