Still Confused
E. J. Dionne, in the Washington Post:
"The media largely ignored a mid-July survey giving Democrats a six-point lead, then devoted huge blocks of print and airtime to last week's Gallup survey dramatizing conventional wisdom by showing Republicans ahead by a whopping 10 points -- only to have Gallup come out this week with a poll showing Republicans and Democrats tied. All this raises the question of whether the only polls that matter are ones that reinforce preconceptions."
Sorry, E. J.- you still don't get it. The only polls that matter are ones that reinforce Republicans.
