Both sites are right-wing-oriented, but intellectually honest in how
they track and report legitimate polls.

The election is over 3 months away. The only poll that matters is
the one taken on election day.

Really, Tim, if you are interested, you need to look at legit sites that
keep track of the various leading polls and average them over a
consistent time period. That way, you get a more accurate "snapshot" of
public opinion at that moment.

Also, the daily polls tend to be volatile.- Hide quoted text -

i thought Gallup was a 'legit' cite?

I know that polls can change by the hour, and don't take me wrong
harry. concerning candidates, I don't bless, nor curse either. i vote
for whom I vote for and if my candidate wins thats ok, if not.. that's
ok too. I feel our country has survived a lot in over 230 years, and
still plans on being around through thick or thin for many more .

Gallup is a legit pollster. I am suggesting if you are interested in
tracking trends, you look at sites that average together the leading
legit polls. That way, you get rid of some of the vagaries of individual
polls.
