I found this tidbit of wisdom and thought I'd share: Quote: When a race is tied, the Republican has an edge and likely voters are cited as to why. When a Democrat leads by 5 points or less, the race is tied. When a Democrat leads by 6-9 points, the Democrat has an edge. When a Democrat leads by more than 9 points, the poll goes unreported. When a Republican leads by 5 points or less, the Republican has a significant lead. When a Republican leads by 6-9 points, the Republican has a commanding lead. When a Republican leads by more than 9 points, it's a mandate. This term may also be used if the Republican wins by any margin. Familiarity with these terms will mitigate stress when seeing them used by the media. Less than week ago the entire rightwing world was screaming not to trust the polls. The polls were skewed. Only trust polls that are unskewed. Is your head spinning yet? _________________________

Actually Pews' headline jarring poll was way tilted towards 50+ white guys in the South. But hey, that's what polls do. _________________________
