The polling industry is like any other. They want to keep the interest up. Showing a big lead for McCain (or -- shudder! -- Obama) this early isn't good for business. Making it appear close as long as possible maximizes their bottom line.

This is also the case with the major media. If they announce an early fait accompli for either candidate, their ad buys are going to drop precipitously.

Follow the money. Always. Wisest advice ever.
