Some Truth about the polls....

I have been following the last two elections very closely. From what I can remember about polling is that the truth does not usually come out until the last week. I think it will be tied or O +1 in national polling because I believe the democrats will be more enthusiastic with one week to go. Four years ago, Mccain also had the lead in a few polls.

The media likes to maintain their credibility with one week to go because they like to say they were correct. Also remember to trust intrade, they are the most accurate.
