Momaw,

In the recent past, most American credit cards would not allow transactions with Internet betting sites.

Is that still the case?

As I recall, there is no law to that effect, but the threat of Congressional action motivated the card companies to block out gambling.

If only a small minority of the election bettors are Americans, might that seriously impair the accuracy of these “cash polls.”

I mean, if you live in the UK and get all your news from the BBC and CNN International, you haven't heard a kind word about Republicans for at least 30 years.

That is a very good question. I do not know the answer.
