Seems like we are being polled every five minutes between 5 -7 pm. Kels is asking if she can answer the poll questions now - and I am like sure, whatever. How accurate can these polls be?
The poll numbers change every week, but I really don't know any one who is changing their mind - didn't you and everyone you know have their mind made up a long time ago? Pretty much once it became McCain versus Obama, everyone knew who they were voting for, so why poll us so much? Maybe just call back the ones who don't have their minds made up and give everyone else a number to call if they change their mind.
And how statistically accurate is it to rely on these polls anyway? Clearly there must be a correlation between people who are never home to answer the phone and these same people not voting in elections for this to be valid. Not to mention people who have caller id and don't answer strange numbers, people who inform the pollsters it is none of their business and people who just hang up on pollsters. All of those people must not vote. Oh yeah, what about busy signal people? And people whose phone goes right to voicemail if they are on it? cell phone only people?
