Methinks those polls are already fixed up.

MSNBC and CNN polls are useless. They are easy to use a bot on and not reliable. One time on a CNN poll I saw an increase of around 20,000 votes show up for the bad guys and zero for ours in a matter of seconds. Those sites could stop it if they want to, but they don't.

I saw this while trolling on a lib site. If the poll is skewed one way and there is no hope of beating the other side, then vote for their side so it makes the results useless. 98% ( for example ) results on any poll are so useless they won't even reference it for anything.

I recommend against "fixing" any of these polls. After much DU activity, everyone in the country will know two things: 1. Cheney won the debate decisively in one of the biggest blowouts since Nixon vs. Kennedy.

2. Every single internet poll has 75-85% saying Edwards won.

A few more incidents like this, and internet polls will be considered less reliable than studying chicken entrails, and we'll never have to Freep another poll.
