49. Do you just make shit up as you go along?
"polls such as the ones you cite have absolutely no scentific premise."

One can argue their predictive value for an election but to claim opinion polls have no scientific basis is laughable on its face.

Exit polling is great.

And what I was referring to the mysterious wins in 2002 (Cleland being the biggest example) when exit polling was not available but the election results were off pre-election polls by a good margin.
