Don't vote based on what the polls say.

1) There is a greater than 90% hangup rate on pollsters calling (stat in Time Magazine, I think last week). They are only talking to the people who like telling their opinions to strangers.

2) The pollsters only reach those people that are at home during certain hours, and completely miss those people who only have cell phones.

3) There are huge numbers of new voters registering for the first time this year. They aren't on the pollsters logs.

I can't see how any polls can be accurate under these circumstances.
