The common weak link in most polls is they get their "random sampling" of telephone numbers from the same company. That company was taken over in 2011 by Western WATS, which was notorious in 2007-2008.

If you control the samples that are being used, you can manipulate the poll results. I posted about this, will post details on the how in a day or so using the word "rigging" in the title:
