I should point out that pollsters use weighting to account for these
things.    Thus, the problem with the youth vote and the low-income vote
isn't that they are "not easily polled", it is that the appropriate weight
for this vote may be hard to predict.

I think that you are wrong on this.   The Iraq War is actually the one
thing that still motivates many Republicans.   Where you could be right is
that when "independents" and "swing voters" get into the voting booth, that
all the problems in Iraq will convince them that we just simply need a change.
