Seems to me that the principal thing the:polls prove is that the people who respond to pollsters are too dumb to be allowed to elect their leaders. Oh, you already knew that?
I take exception to that - I eagerly and happily take part in any polls I am invited to - I am a healthy mix of liberal, conservative, and moderate, as I hope every intelligent person is, but maybe that makes my opinions less useful. Every pollster has a stance they want to shore up and I'm pretty sure my opinions don't help their cause.
Grace, my post was a visceral reaction to reading of a poll on Tuesday. Possibly ill-considered in that there are surely intelligent people who do respond to polls, otherwise instead of 56% the support might be 100%. I apologize for having insulted an intelligent voter (you). Do continue to annoy the pollsters!
