polls exactly like 2000
after seeing the newsweek poll, i checked polling report for 2000 and it's really eerie - all the polls LV's and RV's by the various polling firms for mid October look exactly like 2000 - for example, Newsweek Likely Voters had Bush up by eight - go here and check it out

3. we win if it's like 2000
because the votes will be counted - and the turnout will be higher - so the comparison is really heartening

5. My point exactly
I have been following polls for many years and am tired of the up and down emotional roller coaster. Please do not look at them - they will only falsely inflate or depress you. Most are wrong in the end. Spend your time spreading real information - polls are false information because they are used for something that they are not - a snapshot of all of a State or America - that they are not.

4. Maybe these companies are using the same data and saying....
...it's current. I would not put that past some of the companies, neo-conservative data recycling.
