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 - - Show 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 . |

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. |
