   Please forget that polls can predict anything. They're pretence.   
      
   They may be about trends as the pool is skewed towards selected people   
   who want to participate and not necessarily will influence the outcome   
   of the vote. Pollsters can stack mistake upon mistake with any method   
   known. Even the plus or minus 5% predictions are more of a gamble than   
   an indication what outcome may be expected.   
      
   So there you go with Gallup Fox CNN ABC or what have you. They're all   
   paid for by whoever wants to buy. All are skewed and adding up crooked   
   does not make things straight.
