individual state polls. Didn't we learn anything from 2000? The popular vote isn't enough;but by showing those polls that has this one up or that one down it DOES sway some.

1. No, that isn't quite true. I agree state polls are more important

But it's indefensable to say the nationals are meaningless.

2. I didn't say they were meaningless,I said

that they were misleading and that they have the power to sway voters.We should start to counter them by strssing indivual state polls are now more important as per the electoral college

3. any poll

just after the convention is misleading. In two weeks, the polls will show the race back where is was before and that is a dead heat race.
