Why go out and cover issues and canidates when you can outsource a poll and have all sorts of media types go ga-ga over it. What most people forget is polls are in theory going to be a sample of random people who are telling the truth, with a set of questions that may or may not be biased. When it comes to polls, the margin of error is always 100%.</p>
