| gergroy said: are polls usually all over the place like this? I can't remember having polls that varied this dramatically in the last presidential race. For example, marist came out with a poll of iowa showing the president up by 9 points yesterday, and today PPP has a poll out showing Romney up by one point, that is a 10 point spread between the two. Now, since these polls supposedly have a margin of error of +-4 points, it is actually impossible for both of these polls to even be that accurate. So, how do these polls help if they can't even be accurate within their margin of error? |
well it just depends on how the poll is conducted...sometimes polls are more democrat or republican leaning....personally i think the gallop and rasmussen are the two most reliable of them all
