The New Republic: Great Article on how pollsters view themselves and others in the business. Have to be honest this article made me laugh, they so seem to act like old irritated old women in some respects. I guess it shows they are human, but some need a hobby. Read of the Day.
WSJ: Michael Barone writes the following, " But political polls are imperfect instruments. Reading them right is less a science than an art. We can trust the polls, with qualifications. " After New Hampshire and the bad polling of 2000 and 2004, it is wise to suspect polls till we get some real votes and even then it is a matter of time, it seems that Democrats and Republicans vote at different times, thus depending on the time you might get a false impression, Kerry was winning early in 2004 but then the Republican vote came in for Bush. Lets hope we don't get another 2000 or a Bradley Effect. A new Zogby Poll has Obama leading by nine percent, Obama 51.6% - McCain 42%. Again those not sure at 6.4%, interesting folks very interesting.
