That's interesting.  Two serious questions.  First, do
I recall correctly that the last presidential polls
were predicting something pretty close to a dead heat?
 (I wonder if there is a past poll database out there
somewhere....)  That's not to contradict your
observations, I really don't follow polls much so it's
a vague memory.

Second, do you think political pollsters are more
accurate than media pollsters since their reputations
(and paychecks?) hinge on closely tracking actual
results?  (Or are they more accurate at all?)

Curiously yours,
jsh
