Anybody who believes these national political polls are giving you facts is a gullible fool.
Any editors of newspapers or television news shows who use poll results as a story are beyond gullible. On behalf of the public they profess to serve, they are indolent salesmen of falsehoods.
This is because these political polls are done by telephone. Land-line telephones, as your house phone is called.
The telephone polls do not include cellular phones. There are almost 169 million cell phones being used in America today - 168,900,019 as of Sept. 15, according to the cell phone institute in Washington.
There is no way to poll cell phone users, so it isn't done.

Polls Are WRONG
Jimmy Breslin sets me straight. I KNEW there was something wrong with these crazy polls showing Bush doing so well, & here's why: They don't call CELL PHONES!
Is this the "gang that couldn't poll straight" or what? Do these groups that produce the polls to the public....CBS< NBC < ABC> FUCKS NETWORK (FOX) realize that the people that are watching this "information" may inadvertantly be led down the path to NOT VOTING? It makes me sick when I think of the masses fed this KoolAid coctail of disinformation. Keep writing!!
