but only because i get crappy cell reception at my house (lots of trees, and near the airport). 35 years old.

I understand why you are asking, but the two (2) biggest reason why the polls are worthless are:

1) They generally only sample about 1000 people out 290 million (of whom only a fraction are eligible to vote, and only a fraction of them actually vote), so there is really no way to get a truly representative sample. The poll will automatically be skewed in some form or fashion.

2) The poll results are not reported in terms of electoral votes. So what if XX.XX% people favor Kerry, or XX.XX% people favor Bush? The election isn't determined by "popular" votes, but electoral votes. The entire polling system is flawed.

Don't worry about the opinion polls. The only polls that matter don't open until 2 November.
