Since this is about the CBS poll results, I'd just like to say that I happen to know six voters in this area didn't give any input. Me being one of them. The polls are not the election, no matter how much the press would like to get us all to think that they are.

UNTIL, We the people (by which I really mean our representatives in the electoral college) Go out and make our votes; all counting and guessing is, incomplete, and thus just a generic running number. Don't the rest of you know people who just on general principal refuse to give information on how they are voting to anyone polling them?

I am just saying polls are completely inconclusive.

edited because my fingers type slower than my mind thinks, and thus I left out a few words that seemed important.

Well, if you want to get technical. Our votes are not the election either. Electoral votes and all.

It is obvious they cannot poll every single household, hell it would be the freaking election if that was the case. I think just like that Neilson (or however it is spelled) rating. They call a select number of random households and ask and base their poll on that.

At least that is how I assume polling works. I could be wrong.
