2. Well, actually, they are prettty doggone "scientific"
in that the surveyers know what they are doing. One thing most of them are doing is weighting the voters differently. I've heard one prominent poll, and I think it's Gallup, weights republicans 0.92 versus 0.76 for democrats. That's supposed to represent previous turnout to vote habits of those groups based on past presidential elections. That weighting results in *bush being further ahed. So, Nov 2, we need to GTVO!
