If the “polls” in general are fake because they over sample Democrats and under sample Republicans why believe Pew and Gallup when they tell us Catholics who voted for Obama by 6 points in 2008 when he was not a threat to us are now ready to vote for him by 12 points when he has proved he IS a threat to our religious liberties?

I find Pew polls generally useless. Gallup polls usually poll all adults, not even registered voters, but they're not so bad for looking at trends, IMHO. You just have to check their methodology.

Don't forget the independents and how they are weighed. They were just over half in registration when Scott Brown beat Martha Coakley for the swimmer's seat in MA.
