1. I voted for option 2, but I want to add
that I suspect that the people being polled are purposedly skewing the polls for one reason or another. I don't know if there is a way for the pollster to scrubb people like that from the results.

4. there are ways to do this
basically like telling republicans to answer the phone and respond to pollsters. None of these polls conducted with Bush in the lead are weighted.

2. If the citzenry believes * is going to win, then they steal it...
it is much less likely that the people will revolt against the process. I'm not exactly sure how we would force bush to leave office if it came to it, maybe nationwide strikes, huge (peaceful) march on DC?

3. Most polls are connected to the corporate whore media....
...which means they do Rove's bidding. And Rove wants the illusion of the election being razor thin so electro-fraud won't be easy to prove.

5. As your polls make obvious they are not accurate. They don't account for
all possible answers.
