12. I'm no longer a fan of "polls"

particularly because the questions can be manipulated to get the response you want (e.g., the so-called "push polls" ).

But regardless, many who are psychologists and sociologists and are trained to observe "behavior" (of individuals or groups), are probably watching closely and taking notes.

I expect that most people try to "avoid trouble" and are not paying attention to "politics" as closely as we do on DU... at least until something directly impacts them!

Right now, you have millions of people on the roads in or on all kinds of vehicles, or are hopping buses, trains, boats, and planes, to travel somewhere for the long Labor Day holiday weekend and "politics" is the last thing on their minds. And correspondingly, those who ARE into "politics" (on either side of the spectrum) might be more willing to respond to polls in general, no matter what time of year. So right there, you have an automatic skew.

IOW, the "final poll" is at the ballot box.
