2. How polls are conducted.
I think a major question is how are the polls conducted?

We've seen this before. A lot of people (and I am one) don't have land-line telephones, but use cell phones exclusively, and my understanding is that we are thus cut out of the majority of telephone polls.

As for the Clinton campaign's claim that "elites" are the ones supporting Obama, that's already proven to be not the case.

If anything, it's Clinton who's falling behind because her donors are the "elites" and have already maxed out their allowable contributions.

Obama has a larger number of overall donors who give more frequently in smaller amounts... and we're not done!

So I don't trust the polls. They're quite incomplete.
