It’s amazing how, this late in the survey game, the firms that conduct these surveys admit that surveys are not predictive of the results of the presidential elections — nor for that matter, the senatorial polls, which incidentally, they hardly get right, as far as the last four to six bets’ rankings and getting into the Magic 12, go. It’s just as amazing that there is today an admission that, even a week in campaign politics can change the standings of the surveyed candidates. One polling official even admitted that survey frontrunners usually take advantage of the survey numbers for funding purposes. This was hardly the attitude these polling officials took in the past elections, always claiming accuracy — even at times boasting that their surveys end up exactly the same as the official count, without, of course, admitting that they are almost always off in their survey numbers of one’s lead percentage over the other.
