The ONLY polls that matters are those of "Likely Voters." The first question any honest pollster should ask is "Are you planning to vote in this year's election." If the person on the other end of the line answers "yes," the reality is that he or she may end up voting. If the person anwers no, the pollster should hang up immediately.

This is not rocket sience. The Eagles are a pretty good team with Micheal Vick at quarterback. If he is not in the game, his production is irrelevant.

And one more thing:

Whether we get the 2008 turnout the Obamas are hoping for, or something more like 2004 (which was 55% as opposed to 57%), the reality is that slightly more than half of the people a pollster contacts will actually be voting in this year’s election. In 2000, 51% of eligible voters actually showed up. A repeat of that can be summed up in two words: President Romney.
