Why do we still believe in polls when both gore and kerry lost the election even though they lead in the polls?

Excellent question! Keep your eyes on the Electoral Map. Swings states are very important this year: Montana, Missouri, Virginia, Ohio, Nevada, Colorado and North Carolina come into play. For several months Senator Obama has had the lead with the Electoral Map count and the polls. However; I tend to discount the polls, simply because there based upon LAN Lines, not cell phones. I just read another report indicating that people on average under the age of 47, have cell phones as their major avenue of communication. Thus Obama's favor with the youth vote, movers and shakers, and middle cl will have a shocking surprise.
