I usually just pass most of the daily poll threads. Most of the polls are weighted in favor of certain candidates.

In the final stretch, the polsters will want to be more accurate so they can use that accuracy pitch to sell their services for the next election.

This is 1980 all over again. Quite aside from the usual oversampling of Democrats (which is inapplicable when a movement Republican is running against an unlikable Democrat), there is the Shy Tory Factor, which means that many people planning to vote for the media-demonized non-liberal candidate have been bullied into keeping their support to themselves, thus affecting the accuracy.

With all of the voluminous evidence that every aspect of this filthy process is utterly corrupt, why in the world would I believe polls are sacrosanct?
