| Zynx Poll: 91% of DUers cherrypick their polls. |
|
"Mason-Dixon has Hillary winning California!!!!111" "Yeah, well Zogby has Obama winning!!!!111"
"Gallup has Obama and Hillary tied!11111" "Rasmussen has her pulling away!1!11"
For goodness sakes people, calm your asses down. Remember all those polls that were all over the place going into both '04 and '06 in so many races? In the end, some polls were right, some were wrong. The polls showed Rhode Island and Maryland possibly in the grasp of the Republicans in the Senate races, but both weren't even close. The polls in 2004 showed Bush competitive in New Jersey and Hawaii, but he wasn't. The polls in 2008 showed Obama with only a slight lead in SC compared to what he won by and Hillary trailing badly in NH.
Calm your asses down. Nobody's going to convince anybody how to vote with these lines of argumentation. If you want to make a prediction, look at the realclearpolitics.com aggregates and you can look at a whole body of polling.

| 2. I like the way this guy organizes his information. |
|
He has all the latest polls but he also averages the last five. Of course, if one candidate is surging, the average might not be a good indicator, either.

I seem to recall reading an out-lier Clinton Rassmussen poll on here today.
Let's be fair. It's both sides.

Let's, indeed, be fair -- there are about twice as many online supporters of Obama as supporters of Hillary. Obama has twice as many people shouting that Hillary is losing and posting the same article five, six, eight times (the recent Zogby poll showing Obama ahead in CA has been posted at least eight times).
But if you look at lots of polls, you can easily see that several of them are now diverging, and there is still too great a number of undecided voters and mail-in ballots to make this easy to call.

| 9. If you are looking for a reliable SUPER TUESDAY poll, the best one available |
|
is the one they report after the polls close!!!
I don't think anyone is gonna convince ANYONE to switch their votes at this stage of the game. I'm guessing that the VERY VAST majority of voters has a candidate in mind, and the purpose of all the pissing and moaning here is just to have a rollicking back-n-forth fight!!!!
