The other day splashed across the fron of USA Today was a headline proclaiming in giant type that George W. Bush was leading in the polls. This is of no relevance to anyone. As any Gore supporter knows winning the popular vote doesn't get you elected president. Unfortunately, they bury the important information -- the state by state breakdowns-- inside. Because of the electoral college the state breakdowns are the only thing that counts. However, when polls have margins of error of plus or minus 4% what use are they anyway?
They are of no use. So all you media outlets, let's stop with the polls and concentrate on the issues. Polls are stupid.
