Who's polling the newly registered voters?
THAT would be a poll worth seeing! I think the phony polls showing Bush* in the lead is working to our advantage and inspiring droves of pissed off 'Mericans to get off their lazy butts to vote this asshole OUT!

I'm not too concerned about this election.....last time, the Dems came out ahead by 500,000 votes but this time, with the anger factor so high, that number should increase exponentially.

1. Newly Registered Voters...
are probably not counted in any polls. They only use 'likely' voters, and with some of the pollsters this means registered and voting every 2 years at a minimum, on and off years, for at least 4-8 years. IF you're newly registered they consider you an unlikely voter and don't count it.

at least as far as what I've read. Have I read wrong?

3. That's exactly it!

None of the current polls are including the droves of pissed off Dems that will be voting, hence the current polls aren't a true reflection of "likely" voters. (Why would someone register at this point in time if they didn't plan on voting?)

2. MSNBC is just now talking about younger voters. They are up in a lot
of swing state. Down in CA and a few other states. The guy is from MTV. I suck at typing as fast as they flash this on the screen sorry.
