1. Thanks for the reality check.

I just hope the same people conducting the TIME polls aren't "counting" our votes. :scared:

3. But that's Yankelovich. They're now using SRBI

What's their record like?

10. I don't see that they have a political polling track record

as far as polling report is concerned.

4. It's a different polling company this year

not Yankelovich Partners.

6. Different company, same agenda.

7. Is this from Weird Al Yankelovich? Or someone else?

5. Also note that a single poll isn't a very accurate measure

Taken with many others to identify trends or overall opinion a single poll can have some worth, but not entirely by itself. CNN will be busy with this all day, I'm sure.

8. Also note that this measures "likely voters"

that is, people who voted in 2000....

9. I fully expect that this poll will be shown to be an outlier.

The head to head number does not even match up well relative to the issues in the poll itself.

And relative to all the other recent polls, this one makes little sense.
